The owner of a Richmond billiards hall was robbed by two men early Wednesday morning, Richmond police said.
Chief Larry Brock said officers were dispatched to BJ Family Billiards on S. Killarney Lane around 1:05 a.m. Wednesday after the owner reported two white men had struck him in the head with a metal object and took a bank bag.
The bag contained an undisclosed amount of cash from the business, Brock said.
The robbery occurred as the owner was locking up the business after closing, and the robbers are believed to have fled in a red sedan, possibly driven by a white female.
Brock said detectives still are investigating the incident and had no further details.
The victim was transported to the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington with what Brock described as a laceration and a head injury. Brock said Wednesday that no additional information on the man’s condition was available.
Stolen property arrest
Police arrested a Buckwood Drive man Saturday for receiving stolen property in connection with a burglary at a Laurel Street home.
Nahshon Mullins, 26, was arrested following an investigation into a Feb. 7 burglary at a home in the 400 block of Laurel Street, Brock said.
Two televisions, a cellular phone, a Nintendo GameCube console and games and a vacuum cleaner were reported stolen from the home, and the items were later discovered at a nearby apartment linked to Mullins, Brock said.
Police obtained an arrest warrant for Mullins on Feb. 11, Brock said, and located him on Spring Street on Saturday, where he was arrested.
Mullins was lodged in the Madison County Detention Center.
