LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. (LEX 18) — Laurel County deputies are asking for help finding the man who robbed a hotel early Saturday morning.

Deputies say around 2:30 the robber walked into the front lobby of the Quality Inn hotel off Adams Road.

We're told the man jumped over the counter armed with a knife and took money from the cash register.
