Man with machete stole victim’s cash, cards and keys

Cobb County authorities are searching for a man they say pulled out a machete and demanded another man’s valuables.

The alleged assault occurred Mar. 17 on Booth Road in Marietta, Channel 2 Action News reported.

Donald Siegert told Channel 2 the man ran up from behind and hit him in the back of the head, so he didn’t have a chance to defend himself.

“He’s poking me, poking me. I’m standing there and say, ‘Why are you doing this? Get a job or something,’” Siegert told the news station. “I gave him my wallet. I just wanted to get out of there. “I didn’t want to get stabbed. I didn’t want to get cut.”

The suspect made off with Siegert’s wallet, cash, credit and identifications cards, and keys. He was last searing wearing a black hoodie with black jeans and bright red shoes.
