Investigators say a 5-foot-8-inch black male wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and jeans approached the woman as she walked toward her car parked on River Road near the festival, said St. Charles Sheriff’s Office spokesman Capt. Pat Yoes. He said the incident occurred around 8:45 p.m. in the 13000 block of River Road.
Yoes said the woman told deputies the suspect brandished a knife with a 3-inch blade and demanded her money. The woman complied with the attacker and handed over about $50 in cash, Yoes said.
