POCATELLO - Police are still looking for a suspect who robbed the Alternative Video store on South Fifth Street at gunpoint Saturday night.

The suspect is described as a white male, about 5 feet 9 inches tall with blue eyes. He was wearing a blue hooded sweat shirt and white tennis shoes with black marking during the robbery.

Pocatello Police Lt. Jim Peterson said the man pulled the hood with cutout eye hole, over his head during the robbery and brandished a handgun.

An undisclosed amount of cash was taken during the robbery, which occurred just before 9 p.m.

Owner Steve DeRoche said the store, which specializes in adult videos, has been at its current location for 12 years and Saturday's robbery was its first.

"What I don't understand is why would somebody rob us when there's a convenience store a half-a-block away that has a much fatter till than we do," DeRoche said.

Sgt. Ian Nelson said no one was injured in the incident.

"Robberies are generally crimes of opportunity," he said.
