A Goldsboro man told police that he was robbed at gunpoint Friday afternoon while walking along the 100 block of E. Holly St.
Lloyd Lee Petty Jr., 47, of 610 N. William St., said he was approached by two black males, one of whom pointed a small handgun at him.
The man with the gun said, "Give it up man," Petty said.
Petty said he responded, "I don't have anything to give you."
However, Petty said that as he tried to pull his cell phone out of his pocket that $60 fell out.
"I thought you didn't have anything," the man with the gun said, according to the police report.
The second suspect then jabbed Petty in the right eye and both suspects fled on foot.
Petty walked to the Salvation Army building where he called police.
Both suspects are believed to be in their 20s.
The suspect with the gun is described as being about 5 feet 5 inches tall with short hair. He was wearing a red hat, red shirt and blue pants.
The second suspect was described as being 6 feet tall with medium-size braids. He was wearing a blue shirt and blue shorts.
