SALISBURY — Salisbury Police say an armed man robbed the Circle K on the 1000 block of East Innes Street early Thursday morning.
Salisbury Police Lt. Justin Crews said a man entered the store wearing a mask and spoke to the clerk before walking around the counter and putting a silver handgun to her head and demanding money.
