The incident happened May 30 at C&M Curb Market, also known as the Grey Store, at 619 E. Boundary St., according to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators say the subject is wanted for questioning in a robbery by force and battery.

He was last seen leaving the area in a small silver SUV with an unknown tag, authorities said.

Anyone with information about the man’s whereabouts or who may come into contact with him is asked to contact Investigator Trivia Hardy at 706-821-1178. Tips can also be directed to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office at 706-821-1020 or 706-821-1080.

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – A red carpet premiere was held for a documentary examining homelessness, poverty and economic hardship.

The premiere for the documentary “Season of Drought” took place at the First Presbyterian Church on Telfair Street on Saturday.

The film includes experiences from people facing economic hardship in America, including in Augusta.

Attendees included Nomi Stanton from GAP Ministries and Jackson Drumgoole of Bridge Builder Communities.

Lia Barnes, a boom operator on the production, said working on the film was a great experience.

“My major at Augusta University is digital and visual storytelling so this is perfect for my field of work,” Barnes said. “I was more of an assistant boom operator. I helped but everyone on the set taught me a lot about what it means to be on a set, not just what it means to be a sound operator on set but everything else that has to do with it.”

The event also included an awards presentation and networking reception.
