RICHLAND COUNTY, SC (WIS) -

Richland County Sheriff's deputies have released a video of an armed robbery as they ask for the community's help finding the suspect.

Deputies say the Econo Lodge in the 7700 block of Two Notch Road was robbed at about 5:50 a.m. Friday. 

Investigators say a man pointed a gun at the victim and demanded money from the cash register.  A surveillance camera inside the hotel captured the incident.

After getting the cash, deputies say the suspect ran off.  

If you recognize the man in the video, or have any information that can help investigators, call Crimestoppers at 1-888-Crime-SC.  You could get a reward up to $1000.
