An attempted armed robbery took place Saturday evening at Best Western Inn and Suites.

At 8:10 p.m., a suspect entered the hotel, 1212 W. Lincoln Highway, and demanded money from the clerk. The suspect produced what appeared to be a handgun, but ran out of the hotel without taking anything.

The suspect is described as a black male, about 6 feet tall and weighing 220 pounds. The suspect was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and dark sweatpants.

Lt. Gary Spangler of the DeKalb Police Department said there is no indication this robbery is related to previous robberies in the last month.

Anyone with information on the incident is encouraged to call CrimeStoppers at 815-895-3272 or the DeKalb Police Department at 815-748-8400.
