A man
intent on robbery picked the wrong liquor store. Sunday afternoon a man walked up to the front door of
Buckhorn Liquor Store and announced, “I have a 9mm pistol and I want your
money.” According to witnesses, he then went inside andapproached the cash register. A
bystander took immediate action by putting a choke hold on the man and wrestled
him to the ground. The store owner and cashier then pounced on him and the three held him down
until Sheriff’s deputies and CHP arrived and put him in handcuffs. No weapon
was found, but it still is a serious offense to say you have a gun when
in the act of committing a crime. A Bill Lavallie story.
