MAMA STOPS SON FROM ROBBING STORE WITH TOY GUN!
A
Mississippi man is in time out at the Rankin County Jail after his
mother jacked up his attempt to rob a convenience store! LMAO!
22 year old Roy Mitchell, of Flowood, Miss., faces one charge of
attempted armed robbery after he tried to hold up a clerk with a gun,
which was later revealed to be fake, while paying for a bag of chips.
His mom, who followed her son into the store to do some shopping,
quickly intervened.
The incident was captured on surveillance video (watch below). “The
mother sees the commotion, grabs the gun out of the man’s hand and
pushes him out of the store,” Chris Butts, assistant police chief in
Brandon, told ABCNews.com.
The alleged attempted thief’s mother, Sharron Mitchell, told the clerk she was sorry, said her son was just playing and implored the clerk not to call the police, Butts said.
After the pair left the store, the “shocked” employee called police,
who located mother and son in nearby Pelahatchie. Mitchell was arrested
and taken to jail, where he is being held on a $300,000 bond, Butts
said, adding police recovered a black plastic pistol from the car.
Butts said he views Mitchell’s mother deserves credit for how she handled the situation.
“I kind of feel like she’s somewhat of a little hero,” he said. “If the clerk had a gun it could have been real messy.”
