Sources tell West Kentucky Star that Paducah Police were called to the scene and were told a white male, 5 foot 7 inches, wearing a green hoodie, and weighing approximately 150 pounds, allegedly used brass knuckles to force the clerk to give him cash. The man then apparently fled on foot from the hotel.
By around 6:20, police apparently had the suspect in custody.
This is a developing story. Check back with West Kentucky Star for updates.
