FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — A Florida man is jailed after attempting to steal money from a fast-food restaurant in what's being dubbed a "dive-through" robbery attempt.
Fort Lauderdale police say 31-year-old Edwin Walker is facing strong-arm robbery charges. Court records did not did not list an attorney Tuesday for Walker.
Police say surveillance video at a local Burger King shows Walker waiting early Monday for a customer to pull up to the drive-through window. When the window was opened, Walker allegedly jumped on the hood of a car and dove through the window and then pushed an employee out of the way and started grabbing cash from the register.
An employee was able to grab Walker by the shirt and others held him down until police arrived.
The employee at the register said she's thankful her co-workers were there to help.
"I feel good. I feel real good and i'm just glad no one got hurt," said Tanya Calvin, a Burger King employee.
The charge is a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
