(KPLC)  Police in Conroe, Texas have arrested a man accused of robbing a Louisiana McDonald's while using a hammer to threaten employees.
 
A robbery was the last thing employee Mary Duplechian expected Monday afternoon, especially since she's only been working for less than a month.
 
"I've been working here, and I'm like, 'Does this stuff happen on a daily basis?'" said Duplechian.
"Next thing you know, you hear the lady in back drive yell 'He's got a hammer, and he's trying to rob us!' and at first, we thought she was playing around, but next thing you know, you see a bunch of people take off towards the back," she added.
 
Police said the suspect left behind his hammer - with all his fingerprints on it - when he took the register.
