Screwdriver Used By Two Robbers

Tue., May 18, 1999

From Staff

Pullman police are looking for two men who robbed a man Sunday night and threatened him with a screwdriver.

The men approached the victim near Opal and Ash streets in Pullman about 11:45 p.m. Sunday, pointed a screwdriver at him and demanded money, police said.

The victim turned over his cash and then one of the men punched him in the face. The victim then hit one of the suspects in the jaw and both suspects ran north on Opal from the scene, officers said.

Both suspects are described as white and in their late teens or early 20s. The man with the screwdriver was about 6 feet tall and 180 pounds. There was no further description on the other man.

Anyone with information about this incident should call Pullman police at 334-0802.
