SEATTLE — Hillbilly Hotties Coffee in Everett, Wash., doesn't serve a lot of bicyclists, let alone children, according to its owner.

So the barista working at the espresso stand at 4034 Hoyt Ave. on Sept. 2 was surprised when "a little boy wearing a pink bandanna headband" rode up to the drive-through window on a bicycle and ordered a fruit smoothie, Jovanna Edge said.

"She almost didn't serve him because it's not normal to see a kid on a bike, and it was crazy busy with a huge line of cars," Edge said.

But the barista made the drink for the boy and told him what he owed.

That is when the child pulled out a handgun, leveled it at the barista and demanded money, according to Everett police. The barista pointed to her tip jar, which the boy emptied into his backpack, before riding away with his drink in one hand, Edge said.
