A man is under arrest in connection with a robbery at the 7-Eleven on Lemmon Drive in Lemmon Valley early this morning. The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office says they responded to a call of an armed robbery at the store just before 2:30 am. The employee told deputies the suspect walked in and demanded money. She thought he was holding a gun in his pocket, but he never actually pulled out a weapon.
