Cop: Church worker robbed at knifepoint

FREDERICKSBURG, Texas (KXAN) - Fredericksburg police are looking for a robbery suspect whom they say pulled a knife on a church worker and demanded money.

It happened around 9 a.m. on Jan. 9 at Memorial Presbyterian Church on North Milam Street .

The worker at the church, who asked not to be identified for safety purposes, said she came into work and was sitting at a desk when the door chime sounded, indicating someone had entered the building.
