Bizarrely-Dressed Man Robs Opryland-Area Waffle House
Police are looking for a man in hospital gear and a Seahawks cap in the Waffle House hold-up.
DONELSON, TN — A man wearing a Seattle Seahawks ball cap, a surgical mask and hospital gloves held up an Opryland-area Waffle House, police say.
The man came in carrying a small black pistol and told everybody to get on the floor. He demanded employees to open the safe, but when they were unable to do that he asked for the cash drawer, which they gave him.
Police dogs followed the man's scent to a nearby parking lot from which investigators believe he fled. There is no available description of the getaway car.
