A
Pasadena location of
Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles was robbed Wednesday afternoon (Feb. 3) after a man was denied service for not wearing a mask. The man then returned with a gun and took all the
chicken and the waffles, and police are still trying to locate the suspect.

The restaurant’s manager shared a similar view of what occurred.
“He didn’t take any cash,” Angela Prieto said. “He actually took chicken and before he walked out the door he took syrup for his chicken.”
Prieto said that many inside the restaurant were “feeling scared” and said that the cashier in the store was “very scared” but later had a laugh about the intense moment because the man clearly just wanted chicken.
If the police are truly diligent, it won’t be long before the suspect was found because the anti-mask thief’s face was captured on video by surveillance cameras.
