Man found hiding in air duct after robbing Georgia gas station, deputies say

BIBB COUNTY, Ga. — A man accused of robbing a Texaco gas station was found hiding in an unlikely place when police showed up to arrest him.

Bibb County sheriff’s deputies said they were called out to the gas station along Eisenhower Parkway around 10 a.m. on Thursday after a worker there said a man forced his way past the store clerk and stole cash out of the register.

The man then sped off in a silver Cadillac Escalade.
