Two masked men - one armed with a handgun - walked into McDonald's in the 600 block of N. Main St. Wednesday night and forced four employees to the back.
One was ordered into a closet, and three were told to lie on the floor, police said. The employees scattered, and the men fled. No one was injured, and nothing was taken. Customers in the dining area were unaware of the incident until it was over, Simpkins said.
One suspect was described as black with light skin and a receding hairline and was 6 feet, 3 or 4 inches tall. He was wearing black jeans and a dark jacket and had nylon on his face. The other was described as black, 5 feet 9 inches tall, and wearing a thick, down-type jacket with a hood, and black jeans, shoes and mask.
