Sioux Falls Police Officer Sam Clemens says authorities are searching for a suspect wanted in connection with a Sunday morning robbery and assault at the Nites Inn Motel on West 12th Street.

"We had a woman that had just briefly left her room. As soon as she went back into her room, a guy followed her in. The victim thought she knew his first name but really doesn't have a whole lot of information on him. He pushed her on the bed, grabbed her by the throat, punched her a few times and ended up taking some cash before he left."

Clemens says the victim was not seriously injured. The suspect is described as a black man 5'10" tall.
