   STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. (TND) — Georgia police on Wednesday arrested a man who   
   fought with a Chick-fil-A worker for several minutes after allegedly trying   
   to rob the store.   
      
   Tommie Lee Williams last month smashed through the Stone Mountain, Georgia   
   restaurant’s drive-thru window with a rock before entering the kitchen,   
   according to a report by the Gwinnett County Police Department. Officers say   
   he then encountered a delivery driver.   
      
   The worker claimed Williams pointed a gun at him and threatened to kill him   
   if he didn’t open the safe, police said. The delivery driver, not knowing   
   the combination to the safe, decided to fight Williams instead, according to   
   officers.   
      
   Surveillance footage shows the worker lunged at Williams and engaged in a   
   fight for more than two and a half minutes. Williams first pushed the driver   
   onto the ground before he stood back up and wrestled the attempted robber.   
      
   After Williams’s gun fell to the ground, the two began kicking and tried to   
   restrain each other’s arms, according to the footage.   
      
   Williams later started to grab his things that fell to the floor, including   
   the gun, when the worker pushed him into another room. The attempted robber   
   eventually fled through a back door, police said.   
      
   Detectives later found the vehicle they believed Williams used to get to the   
   restaurant and eventually identified Williams as their suspect, according to   
   the police department. The agency added that investigators had asked for   
   warrants for armed robbery, aggravated assault, kidnapping and second-degree   
   burglary, among other charges.   
      
   On Tuesday, Gwinnett County police arrested five people who allegedly stole   
   materials from a construction site in Dacula. Officers seized more than 100   
   grams of meth during the investigation and charged suspects with felony   
   theft and drug crimes.
