CLEVELAND, Ohio – A Cleveland pizza delivery driver recognized a man suspected of robbing him Tuesday as a local rapper he knew from Instagram.

Cleveland police officers arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with the robbery after a Marco’s Pizza driver provided the rapper’s name and Instagram username, according to police reports. The 19-year-old man was taken into custody at the home where the robbery occurred.

The suspect, who is identified in police reports as a local rapper with roughly 280 followers on Instagram, has not been charged in connection with the incident, according to court records. He remains in custody at the Cuyahoga County Jail.

The robbery occurred when the driver delivered a pizza about 9:30 p.m. to a home on East 153rd Street near Naples Avenue, in the city’s Lee-Seville neighborhood.

The driver met the suspect at the home and recognized him as the local rapper, police reports say. The suspect gave the driver a $50 bill for the order, and the driver gave him change.

The driver was walking back to his car when he realized the $50 bill was counterfeit. He returned to the home to ask for his money back, but the suspect reached for a handgun in his waistband. The suspect grasped the gun as he told the driver “you’re not getting this pizza or this bread,” police reports say.

The driver turned and ran to his car. He drove back to Marco’s Pizza to report the incident to his manager.

Cleveland police officers went back to the home and knocked on the front door. The suspect answered it, but immediately closed it in their faces, police reports say.

The officers knocked again, and the suspect’s mother answered the door. The suspect then came outside and was arrested without incident.

The delivery driver identified the suspect as the man who robbed him, police reports say.
