"He put the gun to my face and demanded payroll," said Angela Murton, 25.The man can be seen on surveillance video rummaging through the cash box when Angela Murton tried to grab the gun, resulting in a struggle. The man can then be seen beating her in the face with his gun."I got nine stitches in my lip and then I got to get dental surgery," Angela Murton said while pulling back her lip to reveal a missing tooth.During the struggle, Sandra Murton ran outside and screamed for help from the 12 employees working in the adjacent factory. Surveillance video shows the man running from the office and workers chasing after him, but police said he got away in a waiting green Ford Thunderbird.Angela Murton said she hadn't seen the gunman before, but he called her by her first name."It had to have been an inside job," owner Russ Murton said.
