INDIANAPOLIS -- An 18-year-old Shelby County man says he was robbed at gunpoint while trying to buy marijuana on Indy's east side.

The alleged deal was supposed to go down around 9:30 p.m. at the Country Hearth Inn & Suites near 21st Street and Post Road.

But instead of purchasing marijuana, the 18-year-old, along with a 42-year-old woman who was also in the car, found himself at the end of a gun.

The suspect reportedly took what the 18-year-old had on him, along with his car – a 1999 Buick Century.

No injuries were reported during the robbery, and no detailed description of the suspect was immediately available.
