MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - Memphis Police say a suspect arrested for robbing a fast food restaurant over the weekend has been charged with a second robbery.
Officers were called to the Burger King on the 2600-block of North Hollywood just after 1 p.m. on Sunday, October 21. When they arrived, they were told that a man acting as a customer tried to grab money from the register when the clerk rang up his order. The employee said the man threatened to shoot her, but she didn't see a gun. The suspect fled and drove off in a silver Ford Taurus before police arrived.
Based on the vehicle tag information and suspect description, officers tracked down 45-year-old Dionysius Norfleet and arrested him for Robbery. Investigators also linked Norfleet to the robbery of a Family Dollar store on July 26.
