Darci Herdling was working at her families store on Vermont Route 14 Thursday night when a man in a ski mask came in and demanded money. Herdling wasn't alone in the store; she had her baby with her.
"He handed me the pillow case and he took the gun out and pointed it at me, out of his pocket and said give me all of the money. So I said ok. I opened up the drawer that the money was in and then he told me to get in the back room," Herdling said.
Before Herdling went to the backroom of the East Calais General Store she tried to pick up four month old Cheyenne. She said the robber then threatened her and pointed a gun at her so she followed his orders. When he turned to leave, she tried to reach for her daughter and the man came back at her.
"He ran at me with the gun and got in between me and her and pointed the gun at her head and then at me and then bent down towards her with the gun," Herdling said.
Herdling once again started walking to the back room, when the robber kicked the baby who was in her carseat. The baby was knocked out of the seat but suffered only a small scratch and a bump.
Police are searching for the robber who made off with more than $1,000. He is described as a white male, approximately 6'5'' tall with a thin build. At the time he was wearing dark jeans, a black jacket, and a dark blue ski mask.
"I hope that he goes to jail for the rest of his life, whatever they can do to him, I hope they do to him," said Herdling.
