Police: Knoxville man demands pizza with AK-47

A Knoxville man could face decades in prison after he allegedly held employees of a Little Caesar’s restaurant at gunpoint with an AK-47 after being told it would take 10 minutes to make his pizza.

Officers responded to the store on Cedar Bluff Rd around 9 p.m. on Nov. 5 where witnesses said the suspect, later identified as Charles Doty Jr. became angry after being told about the wait and asked for free breadsticks. An incident report states he then left the store to wait and returned with an AK-47 in hand, demanding the pizza immediately.

Another person in the store who had already gotten their order handed Doty her pepperoni pizza and he fled the scene before police arrived.

Surveillance video showed the suspect threatened an employee who was attempting to leave from his shift and prevented him from freely doing so. That victim then fled the lobby to the back room of the business and called 911.

WTF? Entitled much? My grandson works at a Little Caesar's in another town. He's a big kid but no match for an AK-47......

Putin would be proud of America's 2nd Amendment infatuation and using a Russian designed assault weapon to destabilize our society. Just don't try this back in Russian, fellow comrades!
