Pittbug Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 BAY MINETTE, Ala. – Authorities in south Alabama say a gas station employee used a cricket bat to chase away a would-be robber who brandished a toy gun. The Baldwin County Sheriff's office says the suspect entered Bee Gee's gas station near Bay Minette Saturday afternoon and tried to use the fake weapon to steal money. Sheriff's Cpl. Mike Gaull tells the Press-Register of Mobile that the employee noticed the gun had an orange tip on the barrel and grabbed the cricket bat. The suspect then ran out of the store without any money. The 22-year-old suspect was arrested and charged with first-degree robbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
