An armed robber is in jail this morning (Wednesday), after he tried to hold up the liquor section at the Russ's Market near 17th and Washington just before midnight. Lincoln Police Captain Joe Wright told KFOR News that 20-year-old Guno Yankton allegedly walked up to the clerk behind the counter and pointed a handgun, while demanding money. After coming up with nothing, Yankton took off. Officers were able to follow footprints in the snow to a home in the 1900 block of Garfield and found clothing fitting the clerk’s description and the gun. Yankton was arrested and jailed for robbery and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
