An 11-year-old boy was in custody on Saturday, accused of armed robbery after police said he confessed to robbing a pizza delivery woman at gun point because he was hungry.
The boy confessed Thursday to the robbery, which occurred after he called Domino's pizza and ordered a $35 takeout dinner of pizzas, Buffalo wings and cheesy bread, authorities said. When the driver arrived at his house, the boy took the order from the driver and pulled a handgun when she protested, authorities said. No money was taken.
The boy said he robbed the driver because he was hungry.
Maj. Mike Tregre, Sheriff's Office spokesman said the boy told authorities that the handgun was real, and investigators are trying to locate the gun and determine where the boy got it. He was being held in the St. James Juvenile Detention Center awaiting a Wednesday hearing. The mother of the 11-year-old said she thought her son was in school when the robbery took place.
