A St. Joseph man is in custody, facing charges he robbed the St. Joseph Menards and ran over an employee as he fled the store.

The suspect has been identified as 40 year old Travis Graham of St. Joseph.

The employee suffered serious injuries and is currently at Mosaic Life Care. The injuries do not appear to be life threatening

The St. Joseph Police Department reports officers responded to a call from Menards early Tuesday afternoon. The store off I-29 reported a man entered the store and stole several items. When an employee attempted to stop him from driving off in a black pick-up, he allegedly ran her over, causing serious injuries.

Graham fled the scene in the pick-up. Officers arrested him later and impounded the truck.
