A Millsboro man faces a robbery charge after going to the Long Neck Wawa Aug. 19 to buy a cigar, then trying to leave with the entire cash drawer, police said.

Andrew Maccord, 34, went to the store on Route 24 about 3 a.m. to buy a cigar, but when the cashier opened the register, police said, Maccord tried to take the drawer full of money.

Maccord was taken to Troop 4 and charged with second-degree robbery and wearing a disguise during the commission of a felony. He was arraigned at Justice of the Peace Court 2 and released on $4,000 unsecured bond.
