A soft spoken bandit entered the Motor Inn on West Second in Odessa at 6 40 am Christmas Eve, flashed a belt gun, and stole about 26 dollars and stamps from operator Ormand Hutson.

The wife slept through the incident, the third Odessa stickup in five days, as police began shifts to search for the suspect.
