have occurred outside the restaurant, police and the restaurant.s lawyer 
said Friday.

"The breach happened either with the computing end of it or at the 
payment processing center. That's what the (U.S.) Secret Service is 
going to work to figure out," said attorney Kelly Burke, who has been 
hired to represent the restaurant.

Warner Robins-based Robins Federal Credit Union said Thursday it had 
blocked about 2,000 debit and credit cards that were used at a local 
merchant, though it did not name the Mellow Mushroom. By Friday,

Tabitha Pugh, public information officer with the Warner Robins Police 
Department.
