Jimmy John’s Robbery: Cashier Speaks Out After 'Chill' Burglary Goes Viral

An armed robbery of a Jimmy John’s in Kansas City, Missouri went viral after security footage emerged of the cashier handling the burglary with what the internet is calling "extreme chill." Jimmy John’s Assistant General Manager Tuker Murray is now speaking out about the Wednesday incident, which he’s coolly described as "amateur hour."

The surveillance footage shows the suspect entering the fast food restaurant at around 9:12 p.m. Wednesday. After appearing to place an order at the counter, the suspect then produced a gun from his sweatshirt and pointed it at Murray, who remained calm. Murray told TMZ Saturday that the suspect "didn’t seem that intimidating" in spite of pointing a gun at Murray’s head.

"I just looked at it then looked back at him, he told me to open the drawer quietly, he whispered it to me," Murray told BBC News in a separate Skype interview. "I just stared at him and he said it again, open the drawer quietly. I still just stared at him. Then he put it in my face and told me to open the [expletive] drawer. I didn't want to give it to him, but my manager was behind me and was like, 'We'll give it to you, we'll give it to you.'"

According to Murray, Rayford came off as a rookie burglar despite a record of multiple robberies.

"I gave it all to him, and there was a dollar still sitting on there, and he said, 'Give me all of it!' I picked up the till and tried to give it to him. I was actually surprised that the detective told me today that he did a whole bunch of robberies because it was amateur hour," he told BBC News.

The video was released Thursday afternoon by KCPD, which announced on Twitter Friday that a suspect, Terry K. Rayford, had been identified and was in police custody. Jimmy John’s responded to the tweet with a GIF and the caption, "WOW, Freaky Fast capture! KC police are Rockstars!" KCPD later tweeted that Rayford was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Rayford was reportedly on parole in Missouri for a separate armed robbery, Fox News reported Sunday. According to court documents, Rayford "told investigators he was committing robberies to pay his crack cocaine supplier, whom he owed money to," Fox News reported, adding that "he had considered violating his parole so he could complete his sentence, saying that parole conditions were hard to follow."

According to Fox News, Rayford faces up to 10 years in prison in addition to a $250,000 fine.
