On December 23, 1970, manager Frank Farrar was working at the Circle Drive-In when two negro teenaged men stopped by. One of which got out of his car, reached inside the ticket booth, placed his arm around Farrar’s neck, and held a hawk-bill knife over his head. He sustained several minor cuts on the stomach, hands, and arms, and was forced to face behind the brick wall. The negro stole $70 in cash and ran off. Earlier in the scene, taxi driver John W. Harris said that a man who he picked up at the bus station on Friendly Avenue placed a gun at his head. Harris said the man asked to go to the store on Patterson Avenue. As they neared the store, the man placed a pistol to his head and ordered him to continue driving. The driver said when he stopped at a red light at the intersection of Patterson Avenue and Holden Road, he took off from the car and ran.

The Park Drive-In closed for the final time on November 17, 1970 with George C. Scott in “Patton” and a cartoon show before the feature.
