Lake County authorities are looking for a man who allegedly tried to rob an assisted living facility in St. Ignatius on Monday night.
According to Sheriff Don Bell, the man went to Closer to Home Assisted Living shortly after 10 p.m. and pulled a gun on an employee. The man demanded to see where medications were kept and allegedly started looking for narcotics. After not finding any, he told the female employee to get on the ground.
The man reportedly left the building on foot and may have fled the scene in an older vehicle with a loud muffler. Bell said the man was about 5-foot-9 with light skin. He was wearing a bandana across his face at the time of the stickup.
If anyone has information about the incident they are encouraged to call the Lake County Sheriff’s Office at (406) 883-7272.
