State Tennessee v. Bernard Williams

On December 23, 1979, at approximately 4:25 p.m., Franklin Sanders, an assistant manager of a McDonalds Restaurant in Shelby County, reported for work. As he was beginning his routine duties, two men came in and one of them said "open the drawer. I looked up and he had a shotgun." Sanders proceeded down the counter opening the registers followed from the opposite side by the man with the gun. The second individual was taking the money from the opened registers placing it in a plastic bag. After the cash registers were opened by Sanders, the man with the gun came around the counter into the "drivethru". He took the large bills from the cash drawer. The gun bearer then removed the drawers from each register and pulled out the currency from underneath.
