INDIANAPOLIS: Robbery Hostage Killed After Offering Himself
Nov. 19, 1985 A fast-food restaurant manager was killed Sunday after he talked two intruders into taking him as a hostage in place of one of his colleagues. The police said today that the death of the manager, Dewayne M. Bible, might have resulted from his insistence on turning off a freezer where five women were held at a McDonald's restaurant. The gunmen entered the restaurant at 8 A.M., said Sgt. Fred L. Jackson of the Marion County Sheriff's Office. He said the men ordered coffee and waited for three customers to leave before announcing a holdup. The gunmen robbed the employees and escaped with an undisclosed amount of money from several cash drawers, Sergeant Jackson said. The women said they had been locked inside a basement freezer and later managed to free themselves.

2 Shot to Death in L.I. Fast-Food Restaurant
May 6, 1991 The manager and the cook of a fast-food restaurant were shot and killed during a robbery Saturday night in Rockville Centre, L.I., the Nassau County police said. The bodies of the two men, lying prone behind the counter of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant at 547 Merrick Road, were found by a woman who went there at 11:15 P.M. to buy chicken, Detective Sgt. William Cox of the Nassau police homicide squad said. The 31-year-old manager, Mohammed Jawaharlall of Brentwood, L.I., and the cook, who still had not been identified yesterday, were lying face down and appeared to have been shot several times at close range, the police said. Sergeant Cox said that there appeared to have been no struggle and that an unidentified amount of cash had been taken from the register. "He shot them in cold blood for no apparent reason," he said.
Detectives yesterday did not know how many men had entered the store. The detectives were looking for customers who entered the store between 9 and 11 P.M. and were investigating other

    On Thursday the 24th of March, 2005, Anna Ayala, a woman from Las Vegas, claimed to have found a human finger in her bowl of chili at a Wendy's restaurant located at 1405 Monterey Highway, just south of downtown San Jose, California, owned by Fresno-based Jern management. The finger, which probably belonged to a woman as it had a long and manicured fingernail, did not belong to any of the restaurant employees. The food supplies were seized by officials to be traced back to its manufacturers, while the restaurant was permitted to open again later with chili prepared from fresh ingredients. Anna Ayala claimed she bit down on a finger while eating Wendy's chili in San Jose, California. Police have since…

    A Cleveland detective (McFadden), on a downtown beat which he had been patrolling for many years, observed two stranger on a street corner. He saw them proceed alternately back and forth along an identical route, pausing to stare in the same store window, which they did for a total of about 24 times. Each completion of the route was followed by a conference between the two on a corner, at one of which they were joined by a third man who left swiftly. Suspecting the two men of "casing a job, a stick-up," the officer followed them and saw them rejoin the third man a couple of blocks away in front of a store. The officer approached the three, identified himself as a policeman, and asked their names. The men "mumbled something," whereupon McFadden spun petitioner around, patted down his outside clothing, and found in his overcoat pocket, but was unable to remove, a pistol. The officer ordered the three into the store. He removed petitioner's overcoat, took out a revolver, and ordered the three to face the wall with their hands raised. He patted down the outer clothing of Chilton and Katz and seized a revolver from Chilton's outside overcoat pocket. He did not put his hands under the outer garments of Katz (since he discovered nothing in his pat-down which might have been a weapon), or under petitioner's or Chilton's outer garments until he felt the guns. The three were taken to the police station. Petitioner and Chilton were charged with carrying concealed weapons.…

    The robbers where a couple of young brothers Alan Mender who was 17 and Joey Mender who was 14. Throughout the robbery Joey was super nervous and was somewhat aggressive to the hostages. But Alan on the other hand was calm and trying to keep Joey from doing anything more stupid then what they just did. Their plan was to be a quick in and out job. However when a lady driving by saw the two boy’s guns through the window she drove away and called the police. Now that Alan and Joey are stuck there they need to come up with a new plan, How to escape. During this process the robbers have to deal with Zach and his “big mouth” according to Joey. In my opinion Zach might have been the reason that no one got killed because without realizing it he was keeping the robbers attention on him. He was doing this by questioning everything they said, back talking, and reverse phycology. Alan didn’t mind it at all but Joey was getting very mad and wanted to shoot him. Then the police called to offer them a deal. The deal was if they let everyone go they…
