Not much new information on this one unfortunately, but police are still searching.
“(Detectives) did a receive a couple tips, but nothing that’s panned out,” said Medford police Lt. Mike Budreau.
As a quick refresher, a botched robbery attempt took place Sept. 17, at a Dairy Queen on West Main Street in Medford. Just before 9:30 a.m. a man walked through the doors with his shirt up over his face, his arms pulled through the shirt sleeves. The man claimed he had a gun and demanded money.
The suspect was described as white, 5-feet-8, and bald on top with hair on the sides of his head. He wore a plain, light-gray T-shirt that might have had some holes in the front, police said. He also wore green and gray camouflage-patterned shorts, gray shoes with red accents, and a bright red bandanna. An employee yelled for help, and the man fled.
Anyone with information about the case should contact Medford police at 541-770-4784. The case number is 20-15439.
