A man drove through the Hinesville Kroger shortly after 9 p.m. Wednesday, damaging the store extensively as customers and employees scrambled to get out of the way.Kroger employee Aaron Phillips said the man approached him before the incident and asked whether he was a Kroger employee. He confirmed that he was and then, Phillips said, the man backed up and told Phillips he needed everyone to evacuate the store. Phillips told a cashier to call the store manager, but within moments he and others watched as the unidentified man drove his car into the first set of automatic sliding doors.
