Sandwich Artist Hides Gun In Mayo After Sub Dispute: Police

NASHVILLE, TN -- A dispute about sandwich construction escalated quickly and ended with a sandwich artist pulling a gun on the finicky customer, according to Metro Police.

A man called police from the Clarksville Pike Subway around 4:30 Saturday afternoon and said that a restaurant employee had pulled a gun on him, according to an affidavit.

The man told investigators he and his family were inside the Subway when he and employee Tazmane Moore began arguing about the way Moore was making a sandwich. The man said Moore then went to his car and retrieved a gun, began waving it and yelling "What now?".

When police arrived, Moore told them he didn't actually have a gun and that he was just waving a hair brush that looked like a gun. Surveillance footage showed Moore emptying a container of mayonnaise packets and stuffing something into it. Lo and behold, a search of that container revealed a gun, according to the affidavit.

Moore "admitted to placing the gun in the box because he was scared,” according to the police report. He said he pulled the gun because the customer was "cursing him," but denied pointing it at the family.

Moore, 18, is charged with five counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
