Four suspects in a Waffle House robbery were in the Forsyth County Jail on Wednesday, and authorities were looking for one more, according to Sheriff Ted Paxton.

Tameka Narisse White, 31; Wendell Earl Chappell Jr., 19, and Shakiva Da’un Rivers, 27, all of Decatur; and Shikeem Quintavious Williams, 17, of  Sandy Springs were arrested within minutes of allegedly robbing the restaurant on Bethelview Road in Cumming, the same restaurant robbed on Aug. 25

A cook and waitress in the restaurant at the time said two men came in, one with a gun. They took money from the register and ran, Paxton said.

After the four were caught, all of them admitted to the robbery, police said.

They also are suspects in other Waffle House robberies in DeKalb and Rockdale Counties, Paxton said.

Three of them have admitted to robbing a Waffle House on McFarland Boulevard on Aug. 16, police said.
