Deputies arrest man who assaulted King County pizza shop employee during robbery

Surveillance footage shows the man entering the back of a White Center pizza shop and assaulting an employee before running off with cash.

WHITE CENTER, Wash. — The King County Sheriff's Office have made a quick arrest of a suspect caught on camera assaulting a White Center pizza shop employee before running off with an envelope of cash. 

Deputies say on Dec. 30, the man entered the shop and headed directly to the back office where an employee was counting cash at closing time. 

The suspect pushes the employee, surprising her. In surveillance video from the pizza shop, it appears that the woman is screaming at the robber while he attempts to quiet her down.

The man then grabs the bag of cash. The employee and the suspect fight over the bag for a few moments. 

Once the suspect grabbed a hold of the bag, he roughly pushes the employee down and made his escape on foot.

The 28-year-old suspect was arrested by SeaTac police on Friday. 

He will be booked into King County Jail for investigation of robbery.
