WAFFLE KING IN SWAINSBORO

An armed robbery occurred at Waffle King Restaurant in Swainsboro Monday, Jan. 22 at about 3:50 a.m. According to Swainsboro Police Chief Johnny Shuman, a single black male, around 5 feet 7 or 8 inches, slender build, late teens or early 20s, with a black and white bandana tied around his face, entered the back door of the establishment. Two employees were working at the time and taking a coffee break when the suspect entered the store. There were no customers in the store.

Shuman said the suspect had a medium-length barrel revolver. Witnesses in the area reported seeing an older model white Toyota Camry circling through the area on one or more occasions.
