Applebee's employee robbed on patio

At 8 p.m. Sunday, David Pertosoff, an employee of Applebee's, was robbed while checking his email just outside the building on 7175 SR 70 E.

Pertosoff stepped out on the enclosed patio and leaned his back against the gate. An unknown suspect placed a hard object against his back and told him to give him all his money and not turnaround.

Pertosoff handed the suspect about $135 in cash from his apron. The suspect fled eastbound in a black Chrysler 300. The area was searched, but the suspect was not located.
