MACON, Ga. — A Macon man is in jail without bond after robbing a record store and cutting an employee Monday afternoon.
According to a news release, it happened at the Habersham Record & Tape Shop on Montpelier Avenue around 2 p.m.
It was reported to deputies than a man, later identified as 59-year-old Jesse Lester, came in with a knife and demanded money. Lester cut the clerk’s right hand as she was trying to get away, the release says.
