According to Fruitdale Corner Store owner Cory Tate, the masked person broke through the front door of the business with a brick, shattering it.
Tate said the person stayed inside the store for roughly three minutes, but did not get away with much.
'There wasn't much there to be taken other than the employee and people in the community losing their peace of mind,' Tate said.
Deputies said they were called to the store around 3:45 a.m.
Tate is asking anyone who may live in the area of Highway 45 and County Road 1 to check their cameras and submit anything suspicious they find to deputies.
