Approximately 9 a.m., Shelbyville police responded to the robbery call, searching for a black male, about 6 feet tall, wearing black clothes and a black Cincinnati Reds cap and Reds tennis shoes.
He presented a note and took off with an undetermined amount of money, Police said. No weapon was displayed in the incident.

Graduation set
Shelby County High School graduation will be 7 p.m. June 12 at the Frankfort Civic Center, according to Principal Eddie Oakley. The decision was based on input from students and parents, after an amended school calendar set the last day of school for students as June 8 and an alternative graduation date had to be scheduled. The annual Project Graduation event will take place at SCHS after the commencement program.
