Dominos attempted robbery

Butler police are seeking an unknown suspect who tried to rob a downtown pizza shop Saturday night.

The would-be masked robber left Domino's Pizza on South Main Street empty-handed about 8:30 p.m. after the manager refused to hand over money, police said.

The suspect is described as a white man who is believed to be in his late teens or early 20s. No one was injured.

The man walked into the shop with a brown scarf tied over his face. He wore a dark sweat shirt, black pants and a black beanie cap with a white skull emblem on it.

He also wore eyeglasses, which may have been part of his disguise.

“They looked like they were costume glasses,” said manager Duane Webster, “kind of like a Halloween costume thing.”

The suspect's get-up and demeanor were apparently anything but intimidating.

“He was talking in a subdued voice,” said Webster, a nearly 30-year Domino's employee who's been manager at the Butler store since 2014. “He looked like he was timid, just standing in the lobby.”
