♦ The Salisbury Police are searching for Lonnie Ray “Little” Carpenter, Jr., 27, of the 800 block of Green Street in Salisbury for the alleged armed robbery of Kendrick Conner on Green Street Sunday night.
The alleged robbery victim Kendrick Conner, after visiting his Uncle’s house on Green Street, was returning to his pickup truck when he was approached by a man known to him a “Lil’ Grench”, later identified as Lonnie Ray “Little” Carpenter, Jr. The two men spoke briefly about dogs. When the two ended their conversation and Conner attempted to get into his pickup, Carpenter popped up behind him with a semi-automatic pistol. “Get it,” said Carpenter. Conner complied, handing over his billfold and his cellphone. Carpenter faded out of sight.
Still shaken by the robbery, Conner called his wife and told her about the stickup. She let him know the alleged robber turned over Conner’s cellphone and billfold, without Conner’s $300, to Conner’s uncle. Conner’s wife said the alleged robber claimed he didn’t want trouble.
Sources in the Police department say Lonnie Ray Carpenter stands approximately 5 foot 9 inches and weighs about 155 lbs.
