Jefferson City police are looking for a suspect in a Thursday morning robbery.
According to police reports, a heavyset black male, wearing all black clothing and armed with a knife, approached a 36-year-old woman about 9:10 a.m. as she left Missouri Insurance Associates, 316 Jackson St.
He put the knife to the woman's throat and took her car keys. He eventually did get away with the car, a silver Pontiac G-6, Missouri license WC6K7D, and drove away in an unknown direction.
