SEATTLE — Officers responding to an assault report at a north Seattle restaurant quickly got the facts: a man walked into a KFC, hurled a store-brand cake at employees, then walked out.
Seattle police say no workers were hit by the dessert, and the suspect description was vague.
The cake? Officer Nic Abts-Olsen wrote in his report that employees were able to provide this vivid description of the assault weapon: “The cake was described as a lemon cake, yellow in color and circular and cost exactly $5.19.”
And the workers shared another concern they first voiced to dispatchers: “They can no longer sell the cake.”
Police searched the area but found no suspect.
