The victim ran back to his vehicle, after dropping the pizza bag and pop, according to the affidavit. He was treated at the emergency room for injuries to the back of his head.
According to court documents, witnesses stated that Cross was present at time of the robbery.
Another witness told police that she heard Cross and others discussing committing a robbery of the pizza delivery person and that Cross asked to use her cell phone, according to the affidavit. The witness’ cellphone number was shown to be the one that called Pizza Hut at the time before the robbery, according to court documents.
Cross must complete 12 months of probation and pay victim restitution.
