LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - Lexington Police are investigating a robbery at a tobacco store that was foiled by a clerk who grabbed a suspect’s gun.
Police say two men robbed Tobacco Zone on North Broadway on Friday.
Clerk Zara Adil told WKYT-TV in Lexington (https://bit.ly/18G5FEi) she grabbed the man’s handgun after he set it on the counter while attempting to take money from the register.
The 21-year-old clerk is seen on store video grabbing the gun, and one of the men ran away. She struggled with the other man and Adil says she pulled off his mask and recognized him. The man left the store without taking anything. Adil suffered some minor injuries.
Lexington Police have issued an arrest warrant for 30-year-old Darnell Thomas Jr. in connection with the robbery.
