Bj’s Drug store was robbed last night as store owner, Barney Joseph Jr, was held at gunpoint around 8:30pm.

Two masked men entered the store and successfully robbed the store by walking out with over 380 dollars in cash. The robbery took less than one minute as they exited to their already running car the store owner said.

Joseph had a weapon behind the counter but choose not to use it as he did not want the situation to turn out like the one his father was in 25 years ago. Joseph father pulled a gun on robbers 25 years ago and the result was him being shot to death in his own store.

When Joseph was asked about this he said, I’d rather part way with money than my life.”
