Webster - On Sunday July 1 the Webster police Department responded t the AT&T store on East Main Street in Webster for a reported armed robbery. Upon their arrival officers were told by the store manager, Angel Dejesus, that two males robbed him at gunpoint and hit him in the head with the gun knocking him out.
