A 36-year-old female Hardee’s employee was counting money in the safe behind the front counter when a man allegedly walked behind the counter, grabbed cash from her hand, injuring her, and fled the scene.
Within about seven minutes, Decatur police arrested Herman Taliaferro, a 47-year-old parolee, three blocks away in the 700 block of North Dunham Street. He is being held without bond in the Macon County Jail, facing a felony charge of robbery.
A 25-year-old female Hardee’s employee told police she saw Taliaferro in line, watching the other employee as she counted money in the safe.
