An employee of the Shake Shack in the Kierland Commons shopping center has been arrested for allegedly calling in sick for a shift Aug. 3, then robbing the place at gun point later that morning.
Keondre Simmons, 33, is being held on a $100,000 bond in the Maricopa County Jail on charges of armed robbery, aggravated assault and kidnapping.
The incident occurred around 7:30 a.m. when an employee heard the delivery door bell ring and opened the door, according to court documents. That’s when a masked gunman forced his way inside and locked the employee in a walk in cooler using a device that only an employee would know about, according to court reports.
