PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Mavis Discount Tire, located at 868 Dalton Ave, was robbed earlier Thursday evening. 
 
The robber entered the building, grabbed the drawer that contained approximately $350 to $400, and left, store manager Daniel Pagan said. 
 
There were two customers and four employees, including Pagan, in the store at the time of the robbery. No one was hurt. 
 
"The guys were working, you know, a normal day. I had two customers here. I went to use the bathroom and by the time I came back the guy just came, grabbed the drawer, and left," Pagan said. 
 
A witness informed Pagan that the robber was approximately 5-foot to 5-and-a-half-feet tall and was wearing a black hoodie that he used to cover his face. 
 
The incident was quick and the police officers also arrived very quickly, Pagan said. 
 
"[The officers] did a hell of a job. I will tell you that much. They were here faster than I have ever seen them come," Pagan said.
 
"I am just glad that we are safe and everybody was safe and nobody was hurt. That’s all that matters to me right now.  
 
No further information was immediately available.

Letter: Time to retire Maryland's third senator

To the Editor:
 
Time to retire Maryland's third senator
 
Sen. Chuck Grassley visits all 99 Iowa counties every year (not every six years) as does his colleague Sen. Joni Ernst. The media has dubbed this tour "The Full Grassley."
 
Sen. Amy Klobuchar goes to all 87 Minnesota counties annually and Sen. Chuck Schumer shows up in all 62 New York counties each year.
 
Our junior senators from Ed Brooke to Paul Tsongas to John Kerry all made it a point to get to each and every part of the Commonwealth.
 
We have 14 counties (one of which – Nantucket - is a single town) and yet there are dozens of communities from the hilltowns of western Mass to North Quabbin and the Blackstone Valley that Sen. Ed Markey can't be bothered to set foot in. Since joining the US Senate in 2013, he's never visited almost all of the rural towns in the five western counties. This is unacceptable.
 
The fact that he spends more time in his Chevy Chase mansion rather than in Cheshire, Chesterfield and Charlton is why he's earned the disparaging moniker as Maryland's third senator.
