MUSKEGON, MI – A pair of armed robbers who targeted a Muskegon Dominos Pizza delivery man late Monday night apparently had an appetite for chicken wings, adding an unusual twist to a serious, alleged crime.

According to a Muskegon Police official, the 39-year-old pizza delivery man was robbed at gunpoint of his cellphone, his personal cash, cash on him for his job and – “an order of chicken wings.”

The incident was reported at 10:47 p.m. Monday when the business got an online order to be delivered to a home in the 1200 block of Leonard Street in Muskegon. When the employee came to the door with the food, the residents inside said they never placed an order, police said.

When the employee began to walk back to his vehicle, he discovered two men crouched down by the driver’s side door, police said. They allegedly robbed the delivery man at gunpoint and then fled the scene, police said.

The delivery man then called 911 from a nearby home, police said.

As of late Tuesday afternoon, the suspect remained at large.

Anyone with information is asked to call (231) 846-8477, Muskegon Police Department at (231) 724-6750 or Silent Observer 72-CRIME.

The department responded to another alleged armed robbery around 1:43 a.m. on Monday, July 26, but police don’t believe its connected to the alleged robbery of the Dominoes delivery man.

In that case, two men – one 20-years-old and the other 56-year-old – were walking in the area of Terrace Street and Grand Avenue when a black male, with his face partially covered, wearing all dark clothing, pulled out a dark, semi-automatic handgun and demanded their cash.

The suspect made off with cash and the victim’s cellphones, police said.
