Man filled up own cup at Subway, threatened worker with knife: SBSD
A transient is behind bars after he threatened a Subway employee with a knife when that worker asked him to stop filling up his personal cup from the fountain drink station, authorities said.
The man, Robert David Rose, entered the sandwich shop in the 16200 block of D Street in Victorville at about 12:30 p.m. Monday, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
Rose, a 43-year-old transient who frequents the Victorville area, entered the restaurant and began filling up a personal cup out of the fountain drink machine, officials said.
“When Rose was asked to stop using the fountain drink station, he lifted his shirt and brandished a large knife tucked inside his waistband at the employee,” the release added.
Rose was tracked down on the southbound 15 Freeway about one mile north of the Mojave Drive exit and taken into custody, at which point a knife matching the Subway worker’s description was located, the release said.
He was booked into the High Desert Detention Center on multiple charges:
- Robbery
- Possession of a dirk or dagger
- Exhibit deadly weapon
- Two counts of shoplifting
- Obstruction of a public officer
- Trespassing
Jail records indicate the charges are split up between several cases, and Rose is due to appear in Victorville Superior Court on Tuesday and Wednesday.
