Armed robber with face tattoo holds up Gainesville Chevron

<p>A man with a highly visible tattoo on his forehead is suspected of committing a robbery Sunday night at a Williston Road gas station near the entrance to Interstate 75.</p><p>At 8:49 p.m., a thin, 6-foot-tall man about 20 years old with a green tattoo stretching over his eyebrows, walked into the Chevron gas station at 3450 SW Williston Road, according to an Alachua County Sheriff’s Office news release. The man had a weapon and demanded money. The clerk handed over an undisclosed amount of cash and the robber took off on foot.</p><p>It was unclear if the case was connected to a Thursday robbery at a store in Micanopy. In that case, a man, described as being 5-foot-6 inches to 5-foot-8 inches tall, and with a medium build, entered the Micanopy Country Store and demanded money from the clerk. There was no mention of a tattoo in the Micanopy case.</p><p>Deputies hope the man from the Sunday night robbery will be identified by his visible forehead tattoo.</p><p>“We’re hoping someone will remember seeing that,” Sgt. Becky Butscher, an ASO spokeswoman, said.</p><p>Anyone with information on either case can call Alachua County dispatchers at 352-955-1818 or Crime Stoppers at 352-374-STOP (7867).</p>
