MADISON COUNTY, Fla. – A Florida man was arrested for trying to rob a Waffle House with finger guns.
Madison County Sheriff’s Office deputies said Eward Rodriguez was arrested for an unarmed robbery and assault.
An employee with the Waffle House on Bandit Street in Madison called 911 after the incident at around 8:09 p.m. on Monday. Madison County deputies said that no one was injured and the suspect got into a car and left the parking lot.
Multiple deputies responded and witnesses told them that a white man wearing a gray hoodie, dark jeans, and a dark hat went into the Waffle House with his dog. Investigators with the sheriff’s office said he started shouting “get on the ground, y’all are getting robbed.” The suspect also said he was “high and drunk” before grabbing some napkins and walking out.
Deputies said the suspect didn’t appear to have any weapons but did raise his hands with his fingers in the shape of a gun.
Investigators said they identified Rodriguez as the suspect from witness descriptions and video surveillance. He was found at his Madison home on Dinkins Street. Deputies said he did admit that he was at the Waffle House “to get some napkins” and said he was going to rob the restaurant.

The only gun arec barwin should have had access to.
“Forget it, Jake. It’s Waffle House.”
The perp was armed. He had two.
Book ‘em, Dano!
Obviously the early crowd at WaHo. This crap usually happens at two am
“Unarmed Robbery”??? And who did he assault? The napkins?
Probably not the first time someone gave the finger at the Waffle House.
He managed to get the precious Waffle House napkins.
Waffle House is great.
The Feds use Waffle House to determine how bad a disaster is - if the Waffle Houses close, they know it’s catastrophic!
Only grabbed a handful. Didn’t even pick up the dispenser
This is going to be the new crime wave to be expected, due to shortages of napkins, Kleenex, paper towels, and TP. People will be stealing it anywhere they can.
Even outside of Florida.
In most Waffle Houses that I hang out in, attempted robbery will get you looking like a slice of swiss cheese...
Any story involving Florida man and Waffle house has to be good.
If we can’t ban all finger-guns, ban all fingers.
