Police are searching for a man who robbed the Laurel Lane Liquor in San Luis Obispo on Monday evening.

Shortly after 8 p.m., the suspect entered the liquor store at 1291 Laurel Lane. After making a purchase, the suspect showed a gun in his waistband to the clerk and demanded cash, according to police.

I think his defense attorney should use that, “My client might have threatened the clerk’s life if they didn’t hand over the money, however he saved an unknown number of lives by masking up and social distancing once the money was handed over. He didn’t want to spread a sickness to the officers so he left . “
