Jacksonville robbers demand fried chicken


Last Update: 4/14/2009 10:06 am
JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Police in Jacksonville are searching for some crooks who robbed a couple of their Popeye's Chicken.

A young mother, who was just leaving her shift after closing up the restaurant at a Popeye's Chicken in Jacksonville, says she was followed home by four men in a burgundy Pontiac sedan. According to authorities, the men drove by several times, yelling at the victim and her boyfriend saying, "give us the chicken."

The victims ignored them and kept walking back to their house thinking they were gone. But the suspects came back.

Police say the passenger got out of the car with a shotgun and yelled "you know what time it is. Give it up." The man ordered the victim to put down the chicken or else get shot.

The gunman then allegedly pointed the barrel at the victim and that's when her boyfriend pleaded and begged, telling the suspect the she is two months pregnant.

Police say after they were on the ground the gunmen stole the victim's purse, and as he was walking away, they say they could hear the other suspects in the car yelling to "blast him."

The victim says she had just gotten paid at work and was going to spend the cash for her five-year-old daughter whose birthday is on Saturday.
