Gevondis Demond Joseph, 29, was arrested and taken to the Jefferson County jail where he was charged with first-degree felony aggravated robbery. When he allegedly used a hairbrush under his leopard print robe to pretend he was armed while holding up a McDonald’s restaurant in Groves.
Authorities responded to an aggravated robbery early Thursday morning at McDonald’s in the 4500 block of Twin City Highway. They were told that the suspect was wearing a black piece of clothing over his face, a leopard print robe, orange gloves, and orange Crocs. But when officers arrived the scene, Joseph had already left the vicinity.
After a foot pursuit, Joseph was taken into custody in the parking lot of the Cricket Wireless Store. The cops were informed that the robber was armed with a handgun but when they inspected Joseph, it turned out to be a hairbrush that he hid in his pocket to make it look like a weapon.
He was charged with first-degree felony aggravated robbery.
