Upon arrival, Lincoln Police officers were notified that a white male subject wearing a black t-shirt with “Got Crabs?” written on the front wearing a pair of shorts on his head demanded money from the cash register while implying he had a firearm. The suspect made off with less than $500.

Officers were able to identify the suspect from video surveillance and witness statements. Officers located the suspect in the 400 block of 6th St in Lincoln and placed him under arrest. The suspect was identified as Nicholas R. Schriber (30) of Lincoln. He has been charged with Aggravated Robbery, which is a class 1 felony.

This investigation is still open and in progress by the Lincoln Police Department. The arrest charges are merely allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. All reports will be forwarded to the Logan County State’s Attorney for review.
