When I arrived in Lafayette as a young man of 22, I took a job as a manager trainee at the Piccadilly Cafeteria on Arnould Boulevard. That was along time ago, but I recall there was a section in the policy manual containing specific instructions about what to do in the event of a robbery. To paraphrase, the message was "Don't be a hero." KATC reports, the cafeteria was robbed this morning (Mon., June 22) before opening for business. The suspect was reportedly armed, and left the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash. He appears in the above photo. Authorities are asking anyone with information about the man's identity to call Lafayette Police, or 232-TIPS.
