Shelby County Sheriff’s Detectives continue looking for a man who may be responsible for robbing several restaurants in the East Shelby County area.

Just before 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 31, 2005, the man, armed with a pistol, went to a rear entrance of the Zaxby’s restaurant at 3821 Hacks Cross Road. He held the employees at bay in the dishwashing area of the store. But after a few moments, he got very agitated and ran out the restaurant without taking any money.
