A man is behind bars after police say he robbed a Jacksonville Bojangles restaurant.

Police say 26 year old Tyrone Faison of Wilmington entered the Bojangles on Highway 17 disguising himself as if he had a firearm under his arm.

Police say he directed 7 employees out of his way, and jumped over the counter, where the alarm was triggered.

The suspect fled, and was later apprehended in Holly Ridge. Faison is charged with attempted armed robbery and 2nd degree kidnapping.

He is currently in jail under a 250-thousand dollar bond. No employees were injured.

I love their fries as much as the next person, but GAH! Actually, Bojangles has been the target of a few robberies.. The one in my town, and a couple in the surrounding counties have been hit as well. Wouldn't pick that as a hot spot for robberies really.
