Officials say King brandished a revolver-style starter pistol. The clerk gave King cash out of both registers and two handfuls of cigarettes before King fled the establishment. The clerk called 911 and provided operators with a description of King who was located a short time later by Salisbury Police riding his bicycle near the Shore Stop. Police detained King and located the stolen cash, cigarettes, and starter pistol on King.
