Gunman gets money, pizza

9/13/2012

Authorities on Wednesday were looking for a man they say robbed a pizza delivery driver of money and an all-meat pizza while the driver was making a stop in North Toledo.

Ron Swartz, a driver for Marco’s pizza, was taking a large pizza, 10 hot wings, and a 2-liter of soda to an apartment complex in the 3500 block of East Manhattan just before 9 p.m. Tuesday and was robbed at gunpoint.

A man went up to the driver’s car window, pointed a gun at the victim and said “give me your money and make it quick or I’ll shoot you,” according to a Toledo police report.

The victim handed over a money bag with about $40 inside, and the suspect grabbed the food from the front seat and fled on foot. Police describe the suspect as black, about 30 years old, 6 feet tall, 180 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
