NORCROSS, Ga. – Police are searching for a man who used a pitchfork to rob a Waffle House restaurant northeast of Atlanta.

Norcross police say 50-year-old Jeffery Wooten entered the diner in Norcross, Georgia, Thursday night and forced people toward a back room. He then grabbed the cash register.

WSB-TV reports that the suspect dropped the pitchfork while carrying that cash register back to his truck.

Two restaurant workers followed the robber outside, grabbed the abandoned pitchfork and used it to smash a window on the robber's truck as he escaped, possibly injuring the suspect.

A pitchfork is a rather ingenious method to get away with the most WAFFLES!!!

Time to ban pitchforks. Or at least assult pitchforks.

Police suspect alcohol was involved. They are scouring local trailer parks.

The story doesn’t say how he was identified. Probably license plate, I guess.

Beat me to it! I was just about to show that a three tined pitchfork was OK but a manure fork with many tines was really an ASSAULT FORK and should be banned!
