Custer County authorities are looking for a man who robbed a Crazy Horse Memorial ticket booth attendant at gunpoint about 9 p.m. Saturday.
No one was injured in the taking of an undisclosed amount of money. The suspect wore dark clothes and a mask.
The Crazy Horse entrance is just off U.S. Highway 16/385 between Custer and Hill City.
It is the second recent Custer area robbery involving a reported weapon. Two men with a rifle took an undisclosed sum from Best Western Buffalo Ridge Inn at 4:30 a.m. Friday, July 31. Both wore masks and dark hooded sweatshirts, according to the clerk, who escaped out a back door.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call Custer County sheriff's investigator Stephen McMillin at 673-8139 or the nearest law enforcement agency.
