In the early hours of Saturday, March 2, Greenville Police
responded to the report of an armed robbery in the parking lot at the Economy
Inn on Stantonsburg Road.
The victim told police he met the suspect in the parking lot of
the DREAMS TOBACCO shop a short while earlier, and had agreed to meet him again
at the hotel parking lot in order to buy marijuana from him.

marijuana from the suspect, the suspect pulled a knife and attempted to rob
him. The victim and the suspect fought, and the suspect took one of the

$50.
At the time of his police report, the victim still had in his
possession, approximately 17 grams of marijuana that he had bought from the suspect.
