Gas Station 'Makes' Money During Attempted Robbery

Video will be available shortly

A man tries to rob a Georgetown gas station, and the gas station actually ends up making money.

Around 2:30, police say a man went into a Shell Station off I-75 asked for a pack of cigarettes and handed the clerk a twenty. When the clerk opened the drawer, police say the man tried to grab some cash. The clerk fought him off and the robber ran away without any money or cigarettes.

He's described as a white man, around 5'4 with a receding hairline and a goatee. Police say he was last seen wearing a white pocketed t-shirt and black shorts with white stripes around the bottom.
