HOUSTON, Texas — An armed man robbed a McDonald’s restaurant early Friday morning, forcing the store’s workers into a freezer, police in west Houston said.
According to the Houston Police Department, it was around 3:30 a.m. when the suspect went into the fast food eatery on Highway 6 at Piping Rock, just north of Westheimer.
