MADISON — Limestone County Sheriff’s investigators said they are looking for two suspects in an overnight robbery.

Capt. Stanley McNatt said at around 7:45 p.m. on May 28, a SunDrop warehouse manager was struck from behind on his head from what investigators believe is a handgun. The warehouse manager was carrying a bag of night deposit receipts.

The manager was transported to Athens-Limestone Hospital with minor injuries to the head. “He received a knot and minor cuts to the head,” McNatt said.

Investigators got a brief description of one of the suspects. They are looking for a black male with dreads in a mid-sized silver car. McNatt said the suspects fled eastbound most likely into neighboring Madison County.

Despite numerous reports, McNatt said the center is not located in Madison-annexed Limestone County. However the center is located at 29599 Old Highway 20, half a mile from County Line Road.

Marketing Manager for the SunDrop distribution center and Madison City Councilman Tim Holcombe confirmed a robbery took place but declined to release further details.
