Police on Monday withheld additional information about the robbery.
It was the second robbery at the motel in a week. Two guests called police at about 1:30 a.m. Dec. 12 after a man reportedly entered a room and struck another man on the head with a handgun. The robber fled on foot with an undisclosed amount of money, Shaw said.

The robber was described as a white man, wearing a hooded sweatshirt with red lettering.
Police did not say if the victim of Monday’s robbery was a guest of the business.
A radio bulletin told police throughout the area to be on the lookout for two men. One of the men was described as around 5 feet, 10 inches tall and about 140 pounds. He was possibly a teenager, according to the bulletin.
