Law enforcement officers in Athens and Limestone County are currently looking for a man who robbed someone in the parking lot of McDonald’s on U.S. 72 in Athens.

According to emergency radio reports, a black man struck the victim in the head, apparently robbed him, then ran across the Wendy’s restaurant parking lot to Taco Bell, where he entered an awaiting four-door silver sedan — possibly a 2010 Hyundai Sonata or Elantra — driven by another person and occupied by another person.

If you have information about the suspect or the vehicle, call Athens Police at 256-233-8700.
