A Baton Rouge man who authorities say disguised himself as a UPS delivery driver in an attempt to rob a payday loan store on Coursey Boulevard is in custody.

Sheddran Kinchen, 51, 10445 Red Oak Drive, was booked into Parish Prison Thursday on a count of attempted armed robbery. His bond was set at $50,000.

According to his arrest report, Kinchen _ wearing a UPS uniform, a hat and a wig _ carried a brown box to the Check Into Cash store in the 10000 block of Coursey Boulevard in the late afternoon of June 19. After getting inside, he pulled out a semi-automatic handgun and demanded that a store employee open the safe. When told that the safe was on a timer and couldn’t be opened until the next morning, the would-be robber ran away on foot, according to the report.

An 8-year-old girl on a bicycle was hit and killed by a UPS truck near the intersection of Apache Rose Drive and Box Canyon Drive in Double Diamond on Tuesday afternoon, according to Reno Police.

Sergeant Joe Lever said Reno Police are still investigating, but they believe the girl was riding on the sidewalk and was hit by the truck after she left the curb.

Lever also said it did not appear as though she was wearing a helmet.
