The robber entered the bar on Main Street around 11:15 p.m. and waited for three customers who were in the bar to leave before flashing a large-caliber handgun at owner Cory Tieva.

Police Chief Tom Stolee said the man made off with an undisclosed amount of cash. Police from Jordan, the Minnesota State Patrol and county sheriff’s deputies searched the area but could not find the robber.

The man is described as a light-skinned black man, six-feet tall with a medium build. He was wearing a mask, black-hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
