Wednesday, May 14, 2008

A Domino's Pizza employee was assaulted while making a delivery at Day Meadows Apartments Saturday evening, sending him briefly to the hospital.

According to the Mountain Home Police Department, at approximately 11 p.m. that night the Domino's Pizza employee was going up to the door of building 445 when he was approached in a threatening manner by four to six males. He turned to run away and was grabbed by one of them and fell to the ground.

He was struck an unknown amount of times and sustained minor injuries as a result. He was transported to the Elmore County Hospital where he was treated and then later released.

The individuals did not demand money nor did they demand that he relinquish the pizza that he was about to deliver, however, they did take the pizza bag that contained pizza.

The suspects are described as being Hispanic, wearing dark clothing with windbreakers. They had bandanas covering their faces.

No further information was immediately available.

The Mountain Home Police Department is requesting the public's assistance in locating the assailants. Anyone who was in the area between roughly 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. and saw people around the apartment complex, or have any other information pertaining to the case, should contact Det. Lt. Julee Bunderson at 587-2101.

It was the second time in less than a year that a Domino's employee has become a victim while attempting to make a delivery. In the previous case the employee was robbed by at least two men.
