Red Lobster Robbery Suspect Arrested
Suspect was former cook at the restaurant
A three-time convicted felon from Broward County was arrested at his Lauderhill home Thursday for a violent armed robbery in April at the Red Lobster he worked at in West Palm Beach.
Around 11 p.m. April 14, 2024, a masked man broke into the closed business at 2201 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd. and held two employees at gunpoint in the office. The robber held the gun to the manager’s head, pistol-whipped her, and forced her to open the safe. The robber stuffed an undisclosed amount of cash into a duffle bag and snatched the manager’s iPhone 15 before taking off.
Surveillance video revealed the suspect was wearing a dark, long-sleeved hooded top, black pants, white shoes, green mask, black gloves and black glasses, in addition to descriptions provided by the workers. One of the workers told detectives the robber’s voice sounded like a cook named Sean, whose real name is Ta ’Shambae Saleme Greene, 35, (D/O/B 8/17/88), of 2009 NW 59 Way, Lauderhill. Greene was cut from his shift and sent home sometime after 6:30 p.m. April 14 because the restaurant was not busy.
Detectives interviewed witnesses, reviewed surveillance video and collected other evidence that identified Greene as the robber. On April 26, a search warrant was executed at Greene’s home that yielded clothing and items the robber had, a large sum of cash, and a gun that matched the description from the scene. Greene was arrested the afternoon of June 13 at his home by the U.S. Marshal’s South Florida Fugitive Task Force. He was later booked into the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office Main Detention Center, and faces once count of robbery, two counts of false imprisonment, one count of wearing a mask while committing a crime, and one count of a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.
