FPD seeks robbery suspect

An arrest warrant has been issued for a Schurz man suspected of robbing the City Liquor and Food Store on Sunday.

He added the suspect fled the store with an undetermined amount of cash.

Wenger described Plummer as a Native American, 5-foot-7 and 140 pounds. Wenger said there are no distinguishable features.
