A man who was posing as a new employee held up a McDonald's restaurant at gunpoint Saturday morning, escaping with an undisclosed amount of cash.
It happened at the location in the 2900 block of Covert Avenue.
Employee Bridgette Lynch told police the man came in about 5:15 a.m. wearing a McDonald's uniform and visor and saying he was a new hire.
The man went to the back office while Lynch looked for paperwork, at which point he demanded she open the safe, according to an Evansville Police Department incident report.
Lynch opened the safe but initially refused the man's demand that she hand him the money bag. Police say the man then pulled out a handgun and said "don't make me hurt you."
At that point, Lynch reportedly handed the man the bag. He then fled the scene.
The robber is described as a black man with a mustache and small beard who is about 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds. He was wearing the uniform, a white hooded sweatshirt and boots.
