While Jimmy John’s boasts freaky fast service from America’s favorite sandwich delivery guys, once recent delivery in Fenton didn’t go according to plan.

Fenton Police Chief Rick Aro said a Jimmy John’s employee was delivering a sandwich order when the customer stole a gold bracelet from his wrist and fled on foot.

Aro said the employee delivered the sandwich to a customer behind a business on the 3900 block of Owen Road at 6:15 p.m. Oct. 24. After a conversation about the method of payment, the customer reached out to hand money to the employee, then ripped a $300, 14-carat gold bracelet from the employee’s wrist and ran south into some nearby trees, according to the report.
