A man held employees of a Little Caesar’s at gunpoint after having to wait more than 10 minutes for his pizza, WATE6 reported.
Charles Doty Jr., 63, became agitated after being told about the wait and asked for free breadsticks. He then left the Knoxville pizza joint, returned with an AK-47, and demanded to get his pizza, WATE6 reported. Another customer handed Doty her pepperoni pizza and he left the store before police arrived. (RELATED: Little Caesars Attack Suspect Arrested On Assault And Kidnapping Charges)
