"When officers arrived, the victim told them that he was a delivery driver for the business and while he was inside working, the suspect smashed through a drive-thru window with a rock and entered the kitchen area," wrote the Gwinnett County Police Department in a Facebook post.

"The suspect told the victim that he was going to die if he didn’t open the safe and pointed a handgun at him. The victim told police that he didn’t know the combination to the safe, so he decided to fight off the armed robber," the post continued.

During the tussle, the Chick-fil-A worker successfully removed the armed robber's mask, which assisted police in corroborating the suspect's identity. Williams then fled from the premises out a back door, according to police.

Detectives with the Gwinnett County Police Department were eventually able to identify a vehicle believed to have been used in the would-be robbery which led to the arrest of Tommie Lee Williams.
