“At first I thought it was a joke,” he recalled. “He said ‘this is a robbery.’ I said ‘what?’ and he said ‘I’m going to rob the place.’”

Imondi said he had one of the club’s two safes open and roughly $3,500 in his hand at the time. Goode took the money from Imondi’s hand and then demanded he open the other safe, which contained $22,000 in $1 bills.

“He took all the ones, I could hear him stacking them into the big bag he had,” Imondi said. “Obviously, he knew we had a lot of money in there.”

The suspect appeared to know the layout of the building, according to Imondi, as well as which safe had the most money inside. That was one of the reasons why he and owner Dick Shappy believed it was an inside job.
