A gun-wielding man ordered cash instead of breakfast from the Waffle House at 4343 Highway 58 on Sunday morning, and police are trying to track him down.

Surveillance footage shows a suspect described as an 18-25-year-old black or mixed race man with freckled cheeks pointing a gun across the restaurant's counter.

He was wearing a black jacket with fur-like trim around the hood, khaki trousers, gray and black gloves and black shoes, according to police.
