Saturday morning feel good stories
Chief Tango sends us our stories again – and it looks like the criminals are feeling the Christmas Season pressure. Six, count ’em six stories today, beginning with Louisiana;
Deputies responded to an incident in the 11000 block of Martin Road in Gonzales on Sunday.They found Chad Babin in the living room being held down by four males at gunpoint.
Witnesses say Babin pulled into the driveway as a woman was unloading items from her vehicle. He begin cursing at her and grabbed her saying he wanted to go inside the home with her. The woman screamed for her husband and the husband along with her son and other friends were able to detain the suspect.
Officials say Babin was hit in the head with the homeowner’s gun and suffered a cut above his right eye. He was transported to a local hospital, treated and released into the Ascension Parish Jail.
Looks like Mr. Babin regrets it now, doesn’t he?

The next story comes from Nevada;
Metro Police said they arrested a man who tried to rob a Red Lobster restaurant near Meadows Mall Thursday night.Officers said shortly before 10 p.m. a man with a gun walked into the seafood chain at S. Decatur Boulevard and Alta Drive and demanded money.
However, a person in the restaurant pulled out a gun and fired off a warning shot in the air. Police said that caused the robber to take off.
While fleeing, the suspect dropped the cash register drawer in the parking lot, so all of the money and gift cards was retrieved, according to police.
Didn’t LTC Bates, the least infantry man in the world, ask a question about who takes a gun to a restaurant?
The next story comes from Alabama;
Montgomery police have charged three Faulkner University students in the Wednesday night shooting death of football player Ryan Brooks.
Police say Brooks, 19, of Chelsea was shot by a homeowner in the 5900 block of Woodmere Boulevard when he and three other students attempted to break into a residence to commit a robbery.
The homeowner shot Brooks in self-defense, according to police.
Montgomery police say those Faulkner University students involved in the home invasion robbery have been charged with murder.
They are: Marshall Wall, 19, Ronnie Williams 19, both of Loxley, and Tabias Russell, 19, of Alexander City. They are being held in the Montgomery County Detention Facility on $75,000 bond.
The next story is from Michigan;
Albion public safety officers said a 20-year-old Albion man was shot while attempting to break into a home. Officers were called at 11:15 p.m. Wednesday to the 300 block of West Center Street to investigate a report of shots fired. Police said the resident of the home shot a man trying to break into the home. Police said they found a suspect in the 500 block of Cass Street who had been shot in the leg. He was taken treated at Allegiance Hospital in Jackson and released and then arrested on a charge of home invasion and taken to the Calhoun County jail.
The next is from Texas;
According to the Houston Police Department, it all started when two masked gunmen stormed into the Shell station on Wirt Road near Kilburn around 8:30 p.m. Thursday in northwest Houston.
However, what they probably didn’t expect was that the store had been robbed before, so the clerk was ready with a gun of his own.
The clerk when he told the men to leave they opened fire, so he shot back.
He wasn’t hurt, but police believe he may have shot one of the suspects in the leg, because there was a trail of blood leading away from the store.
The last story comes from Arizona;
The first time [the store was robbed], a 22-year-old man was attending the cash register, but yesterday it was the store’s operations manager; a highly trained former Army Sergeant who took down the robber, using only his hands.
“I know, what I did was not smart at that point, I acted and I knew it was probably him or me,” said Robert Grisko.
Grisko is a manager at the market near 21st Avenue & Adams St and was the only person in the store Wednesday when he says an armed robber came in around 3 p.m. demanding money.
“I thought it was a joke, by the time I got up and turned around he was already coming around the counter into the space, and had the gun pointed up and walking towards me,” he said.
Grisko told the robber he couldn’t open the register. He said the robber then walked behind him, grabbing computers from the counter.
“He was coming at me with two laptops here and the big iMac and had the gun up like this, at some point he must have realized he couldn’t get past me and I knew at that point he was going to shoot me,” said Grisko. “At that point I made my move, I popped the top off of his hands and took the gun from him out of his hands, the gun went off and shot down through the case and blew everything in the case. It also took out my phone line and from there I hand to hand took him out.”
Grisko yelled outside for someone to call the police. They responded and the 29-year-old suspect was arrested. Police say he is hospitalized and will be for the next few days.

Took an armed perp out hand-to-hand, plus put him in the hospital for a few days. Cool.
I noticed that too, happy ending.
Yep, the clerk is former Army.
When the perp rushed him he hip checked him then assisted the guy with an accelerated faceplant into the countertop, his hand on the back of the perps head.
The booking photo was priceless. 🙂
Nothing makes my Saturday morning brighter than the words “followed a trail of blood…”, when referring to a criminal. ‘Cept maybe, “Was pronounced…” for same.
“Didn’t LTC Bates, the least infantry man in the world, ask a question about who takes a gun to a restaurant?”
Another faker.
LTC Bates is an authority on how to pretend to be an authority, oh and he is also an authority on how to get his stuff printed in Esquire. As far as I can tell he is not an authority on anything else.
Cue the robber’s mommas to start with “he was just turnin’ his life around” or “he was jus’ robbin’ the store, they din’t have to shoots him”.
