We've been on the road this afternoon, but picked this up and monitored events on our scanner: sheriff's deputies closed streets around the McDonald's at Lincoln and Woodbury this afternoon at about 3:45 PM after reports of an armed robbery in progress. Customers and employees were escorted out, broadcasts seem to suggest that a suspect is in custody but was not able to be identfied right away. Deputies and Pasadena PD were clearing the roadblocks at about 4:45 this afternoon and debriefing in the Lincoln Center parking lot. We'll keep a watch on the situation.

We just Mapquested it, and it’s over two miles from the sheriff’s station to McDonald’s. CHP is the closest law enforcement agency, but they don’t handle robberies. The sheriff is, however, only a couple of blocks from Jack in the Box!
