MOULTRIE — A would-be armed robber apparently got cold feet Friday night, leaving his victim standing on his front porch after he told the intruder that he did not have any money.
A Moultrie police officer was called to a house on Third Street Southeast about 11:10 p.m. about a robbery. The officer spoke with Ermilo Ramos, who stated he was on the front porch talking on his cell phone when an unknown black male approached him.
Ramos told the officer the black male pulled out a handgun and demanded money from him. Ramos told the robber he did not have any money, and he stated the robber walked toward the front door but fled once the front door was opened. Ramos did not give up any money or other items during the attempted heist.
The robber was described as a young black male with a short build and long hair. He was wearing a black hoodie sweater, jeans and was carrying a black handgun at the time of the attempted robbery. Officers searched the area for the robber but were unable to find him.
