COEUR d'ALENE - Crime Stoppers of the Inland Northwest is offering a cash reward for information leading to the arrest of a man responsible for an attempted armed robbery on Nov. 28.

A female employee of the Goodwill, 1212 N. Fourth St., reported she had left the store at 1:55 p.m. to make a bank deposit. As she approached her car she was attacked from behind by a male suspect. The victim said the man put a knife to her throat and demanded her purse. She stated as they struggled over the purse, the suspect shoved her to the ground.
