He then told her, “come on, honey, open the register and give me the money. I’m not going to hurt you,” according to the report.
The woman spotted a black-handled knife in his coat sleeve. She grabbed the hot coffee and tossed it at the would-be thief.
“I grabbed that coffee. I told him you ain’t getting nothing and I threw that coffee on him and he jetted out of here running,” the employee told dispatchers in a 911 call.
The suspect took off running south from the restaurant. Police are looking for a man in his late forties, 5’5” to 5’8” and weighing about 150 pounds.
Officers are trying to find surveillance tape of the incident.
