Robber takes cash, hurts Taco Bell manager

STAFF REPORT

BOARDMAN — A gunman got away with an undisclosed amount of cash from a U.S. Route 224 fast-food restaurant.

Early Wednesday, a masked man forced his way into Taco Bell, Boardman-Canfield Road, as the night manager was trying to lock the doors. The manager, 20, was knocked to the floor.

The robber then went to the counter, pointed a handgun at the cashier and demanded money.

The cashier turned over all of the cash from the drawer, and the gunman fled.

The manager’s injuries were treated at St. Elizabeth Boardman Health Center after complaints of head and back pain.
