GREENFIELD, WI — A 20-year-old from Milwaukee is now facing felony charges after employees at a Dunkin Donuts in Greenfield reported a robbery on Tuesday, according to police reports and court records.

Zadorion Sobolik-Sanders Jr. now faces a charge of theft of moveable property and resisting an officer causing great bodily harm in connection with the Feb. 21 incident at the 7575 West Coldspring Road Dunkin Donuts, online court records showed. A Greenfield police report noted that around $200 was taken from the store's register.

The employee at the front counter told police the man walked in wearing a ski mask but he didn't say anything and went to the bathroom, the report said. Later, the man came out of the bathroom, grabbed a water bottle and asked about the price, but when he was answered, he became agitated, the employee told police.

Eventually, the man became further agitated and the front employee went to the back of the store to contact her manager, the police report said. In the meantime, with nobody out front, police said Sobolik-Sanders went behind the counter and tried to get into it.

The employee returned to the front to see the man trying to open the drawer with a credit card, and was soon yelled at to open the register, according to the police report. The employee told police she was fearful, and although she didn't see any weapons, she didn't want to risk it and opened the drawer, according to the police report.

The man grabbed the cash and immediately left, the report said. A person fitting the description was spotted running from the store afterward and police managed to arrest him after a foot chase in the backyard of a home in the 4200 block of south 70th Street, police said.

One officer suffered an injury to his knee amid the chase which required surgery to reconnect both ends of a tendon, the reports said. The officer was running after the suspect, yelling commands, when he heard a pop and felt pain in his knee, causing him to fall, according to the report. The recovery from the injury could last around six months, the report said.
