Man Tries To Use Drive-Thru Window To Rob Tulsa Restaurant

Surveillance video shows the moment police caught a man they say tried to rob a Tulsa Burger King in the drive-thru Friday.

The suspect was driving a white suburban, and it was quickly spotted by police - and chased to Pine and Highway 75 - the tires flattened with spikes, but the driver went ahead on the rims. The video shows the SUV that police say was stolen stopping in the middle of the road as the driver gets out and tries to run away.

News On 6 is still trying to confirm the driver’s name.

Officers say the chase started a couple blocks from 41st and Memorial. That's where they say the man ordered chicken tenders and a Dr. Pepper in the drive-thru of a Burger King, then pulled a gun on the clerk.

The worker at the window went to get the manager who called police. News On 6 was told the suspect nearly crashed into an officer as he pulled out of the Burger King parking lot.

"We weigh the severity of the crime when we're pursuing. Somebody with a firearm, seen or unseen, even alleged, to commit armed robbery, we're going to chase him down," said Corporal Brandon Disney with Tulsa Police.

Police say the SUV was stolen out of North Dakota with a stolen Oklahoma plate. Officers also found a dog in the car that dog was taken to the pound.
