An arrest report states that Kevin Green, 40, demanded the man’s belongings at fork-point. It states the victim handed over a watch, a ring and “a Publix bag containing cereal and soda.”

Police said Green ran to a motorcycle dealer across the street and police, called to the scene after the robbery, arrested him.

The report states that Green still had the BBQ fork on him and was later “unable to be interviewed.”

As of Tuesday afternoon, Green, who is homeless, was being held in the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a first-degree felony charge of armed robbery.

His bond was listed in online jail records as “to be set.”
