A Lexington gas station employee went out of her way to help a man down on his luck, only to become the victim of a robbery.
Detectives say the man walked into the Shell station and poured himself a coffee. It was around 7:00 a.m. and customers were in and out of the store.
The man spilled his coffee and the woman behind the counter walked over to help him clean it up.
“She said they had a nice rapport going for a couple of minutes,” said Detective Mark Thomas with the Lexington Police Department.

When the man couldn’t find enough change to pay for the coffee, the woman paid for the difference.
But no good deed goes unpunished.
“He was gone for a couple minutes, but she was surprised to see him back in the door. He walked to the counter, smiled, nodded and opens a pocket knife and says he’s ready for the cash,” said Thomas. “It was disheartening. She’d helped him clean up, even gave him coffee when he couldn’t pay, now he’s come back in with a knife to rob her.”
Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward for information leading to an arrest.
