GLEN BURNIE, Md. — A 7-Eleven clerk tricked a would-be robber into fleeing the store by telling him a cop was there.

It happened Tuesday evening at the 7-Eleven on Old Mill Road in Millersville.

The suspect entered the business, approached the counter with merchandise, and displayed a black handgun.

That's when the clerk told the armed man an officer was on scene, spooking him.

The suspect fled the business and remains on the run.
