WSFA 12 News Montgomery, AL |Montgomery Man Fights Back Against Would-Be Robber
Member Center:
A Montgomery man fights back against a would-be robber and wins.
Police say a deacon from Mount Olive Bapist went to the Normandale Compass Bank to deposit the church's offerings when a man approached him. The man then allegedly knocked the deacon down, took the money and started running away.
The suspect, however, was in for a surprise. The deacon was carrying more than a money bag to the bank, he was carrying a loaded gun. He began firing at the suspect, who slipped, fell to the ground and dropped the cash. When the robber went to retrieve the bag, the deacon threatened to shoot him if he touched it.
The suspect ran away. If you have any information that could help police identify and catch him, you're asked to call Crimestoppers at 215-STOP. You can remain anoynmous and you may be eligible for a cash reward.
Police recommend in a situation like this when you have to carry a lot of cash to the bank that you always bring another person along with you.
