“I don’t want to shoot you, but I need to feed my family.”
Those are the chilling words police say a man uttered during the robbery of a hotel in New Jersey early Wednesday morning.
The armed robbery happened about 2:30 a.m. at the Red Roof Inn on Absecon Boulevard in Absecon.
The suspect entered the hotel’s front doors and approached the front desk.
He pulled out a handgun, demanded money and said to the front clerk “I don’t want to shoot you, but I need to feed my family.”
The employee gave the suspect about $400 in cash before the suspect ran out the door and left the scene in a dark-colored sedan.
The suspect is described as a male with a deep voice, approximately 6”2” with dark-colored eyes. He was wearing a black ski mask, dark green hooded sweatshirt, dark-colored gloves and dark-colored cargo style pants.
