Robber Picks the Absolute Worst Liquor Store Clerk to Hold Up
Of all the liquor stores, in all the towns, in all the world, this robber had to walk into one that employs a 30-year military vet who did four tours in Iraq and worked as a prison guard, a private eye, and a bounty hunter.
Jon Lewis Alexander, 54, is being hailed as a hero by the owners of Marionville, Missouri store where he disarmed a would-be tough guy with just his Walther PPX 9mm handgun and a dirty look.
"One of the policemen told me later, 'You're a lucky man,'" Alexander recalled. "I said, 'I think he (the robber) is a little luckier than I am.'"
