A Fresno man is in jail after admitting to assaulting a Little Caesar’s Pizza employee and stealing a pizza and soda, police reported.

A witness told officers that David Tejeda, 29, walked into the business on Fresno and B streets in west Fresno about 12:45 p.m. Saturday, punched an employee and stole a pizza, Sgt. Glen Schafer said in a release. Tejeda returned soon after, the witness said, and stole a soda from the refrigerator.

Tejeda was found by police just a few blocks from the scene and was taken into custody. Police say he admitted to the crimes and was booked into Fresno County Jail for robbery, assault and theft.
