(SALEM, Ore.) - An armed robbery at a Salem tavern parking lot has local detectives asking questions. They say Marion County Sheriff's deputies were called out last night around 11:45 PM to the Silver Inn Tavern, on Silverton Road.

Lt. Sheila Lorance with the Marion County Sheriff's Office says the victim described the suspect as a Hispanic male in his mid 30's.

He stood about five foot eight and had a slim build, the victim said. The man was clean shaven, wearing a white and black zip up hooded jacket, decorated with red and black skulls.

Lorance says the suspect approached the victim in the parking lot armed with a black handgun, and took personal property and cash.

"The suspect then fled in an unknown direction," Lorance said.
