Newly surfaced court documents allege that a former employee turned on a Nashville restaurant and robbed the business, according to filings that local investigators are now reviewing.
According to WKRN News 2, the court records identify the suspect as a one-time worker at the restaurant and outline the alleged actions that led to the reported robbery. WKRN's video report includes excerpts from the documents that were filed with local authorities.

Incidents in which former employees return to target a workplace have appeared in Middle Tennessee before.

Where to check official records
The Metro Nashville Police Department maintains an interactive Police Data Dashboard that aggregates Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Part I incidents, including robberies, along with precinct-level totals. For official counts and precinct trends, the department's public dashboards are available on the Metro Nashville Police Department site.
At the time of publication, WKRN's report appears to be the primary public account describing the court filings. This story will be updated if court records, arrest records, or an official statement from the Metro Nashville Police Department provides additional details about the charges or the suspect's identity.
