Man wounded in robbery at motel runs to gas station next door for help

Bibb County sheriff's deputies converged on Harrison Road Friday afternoon after getting a report of a man shot in the head.

About 1 p.m. Friday, officers were sent to the Murphy USA gas station not far from Walmart.

Sheriff's public affairs Sgt. Linda Howard said officers discovered that the victim had run down the street to the gas station and had actually been hit on the head during a robbery at the neighboring Bridgeview Inn and Suites at the corner or Eisenhower Parkway.

"He was trying to sell a drone and some headphones when he was attacked by two individuals that he was attempting to sell these items to," Howard said.

Sheriff's deputies were interviewing witnesses at the hotel to try to get a better description of the white male suspects.

Anyone with information about the robbery is urged to call for an investigator at 478-751-7500 or phone anonymous tips to Macon Regional Crimestoppers at 877-68-CRIME.
