A man with a “wrinkly” face robbed the Pita Pit restaurant near the University of Kentucky campus Tuesday night.

Employees told police a man, possibly, in his 60s brandished a handgun and took money a little before 11:30 p.m. at the pita shop, 315 South Limestone.

Police say the man, described as a white man with a wrinkly face, fled on foot. He was wearing blue jeans and a gray hooded sweatshirt with red writing that possibly said East or West Jessamine softball.

Anyone with information is asked to call police (859) 258-3600.

Looks like grand paw took his stimulus package and ran with it. Grand paw must be in real good shape. Hope grand paw does not get fat on his stimulus package.
