Tuesday morning feel good story

This morning’s story is a little different than most, but it happened in North Carolina where Brad Coville, a local photographer, was getting a sandwich at a convenience store, when a fellow came in wearing a hoodie and announced that he had a gun in his pocket and that he wanted the money from the register;

Coville, who was standing beside Boyd at the counter, said the man didn’t pay him any attention at first.

“The first time he said whatever he said it was unintelligible,” Coville recalled.

But Coville said Boyd was pointing and that it seemed as if Boyd had a gun in his pocket.

“Then he swung toward me like he was going to say something to me, but when he swung toward me his hand came out of his pocket and all he had was a finger,” Coville said.

When Boyd turned back to the clerk, Coville made his move toward him.

“I grabbed his arm and took him to the ground, put him in a bend wrist and held his wrist,” Coville said. “I told the clerk to call the police, so she did.”

Coville said while he had Boyd pinned to the ground, Boyd started calling him names.

“He said, ‘You are a crazy redneck (expletive deleted),’” Coville recalled.

Coville said he told Boyd to stop resisting.

While Coville had Boyd pinned to the floor, Boyd, the criminal begged for the clerk to call the police and he was gratified that they came and hauled his little finger-pointing ass off to his reward.
