FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. -- Deputies responded to a report of an armed robbery at a McDonald's restaurant in the 2800 block of Keith Bridge Road just after 5 a.m. Saturday.
When they arrived, they found that employees had been forced into the cooler of the fast food eatery. The employees said a black man with a handgun had demanded money from them and ordered them into the cooler.
