Armed robbery for Bud Light reported in Jackson

A man told Jackson County Sheriff's investigators that he was robbed Monday morning by three men who stole two pallets of Bud Light beer from his truck.

The man told JCSO officers that he was held up at gun point at the Pilot Station on Exit 129 by a black male with a red goatee who forced him to get into the truck and drive north on I-85. Around the 140 mile marker, the man said he was told to pull over on the side of the road. A yellow "Ryder" type truck that had been following the vehicle pulled up behind the truck and two men got out and took the two pallets of beer and loaded them on the yellow truck.

The man with the gun then took the driver's keys and left. After locating a spare set of keys, the drive said he drove to the Flying J station on Hwy. 98 where he contacted law enforcement officials.
