Bibb deputies are asking the public to help identify a man who tried to rob the CVS pharmacy on Forest Hill Road at about 3:45 p.m. Aug. 22.

The man, who is white, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs about 140 pounds, picked up a magazine, approached the cash register and displayed a handgun in the waistband of his pants, according to a news release from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.

The car, which had a red sticker on the trunk, headed north on Forest Hill Road.
