We are thankful the situation didn’t escalate further and that the Pensacola Police Department acted swiftly.”We also asked the owner how Ryder was allegedly able to get inside the bar with the weapon and a mask.
“We keep our doors open to the sidewalk. Anyone has the capability of walking into our establishment. I would like it to be noted the suspect walked into Old Hickory with his weapon drawn and wearing a face covering.
