ORIGINALLY POSTED FOR NIXLE SUBSCRIBERS:
On 8-12-15, at about 11:55 PM, officers responded to a reported robbery of a pizza delivery driver in the 1500 block of N. Adams. Officers made contact with a Domino’s driver, a WM 22. He was delivering pizza to a home in the block, and parked and stepped from his vehicle. While approaching the house, a black male that appeared to be coming from the area of the house approached him. A second black male approached from another direction. The driver handed the pizza to one of the men. That suspect demanded that he “give him everything he had on him.” The victim rand the two chased him to near 16th and N. Adams. Sometime during this, a third black male suspect became involved. One of the men hit the victim in the head with a baseball bat. When the victim fell to the ground, he was kicked in the back. One of the suspects took the driver’s wallet out of his pocket. An approaching car apparently caused the men to run, fleeing north and west from the scene. The victim went to a nearby home and called the police. AMS treated the victim for minor injuries at the scene. The only suspect description available at this time is three black males wearing dark clothing. Officers made contact with a resident at the home the delivery was meant for, and that person didn’t have any connection with the name or telephone number used in making the order.
