ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Police in North Carolina say a man robbed a Domino's Pizza with a machete and then tried to set the store ablaze.
The Citizen Times reports that the alleged incident occurred late Monday night in Asheville. Police said in a statement that Curtis Andrew Wallace Jr. told Domino's employees that he would "chop heads off” before locking them in an office and then a freezer.
Police said Wallace took nearly $700 from a safe. They said Wallace then tried to start a fire in one of the pizza ovens when the employees were still trapped. He was taken into custody when police arrived.
