Police Search for Armed Robber
La Crosse police are still searching for the armed robber who victimized a disabled man late Monday night near the area of sixth and King streets downtown. Cops say the 57 year-old victim was on the way to the store to pick up some cold medicine when he was approached by a skinny man with a baseball cap who asked the victim for a light. When the victim reached in his pocket, the perp drew a knife. The thug got away with $43 in cash and $2 scratch off ticket. Police are looking at surveillance video from nearby businesses to get a good picture of the man’s attacker.
