Police Arrest Man Fitting Description Of Suspect
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A convenience store clerk took matters into his own hands when he was confronted by a robber Wednesday morning -- he beaned the man in the head with a can of ravioli.
This is the second robbery at the Diamond Shamrock at 17th Street and Grand.
Two nights ago, a robber threw hot coffee into a clerk's face, then stole the cash drawer. No arrests have been made in the case.
Early Wednesday morning, a different man took some items, including the ravioli, up to a different clerk, then said he wanted money and claimed to have a gun.
The clerk told the robber no and picked up the can of Chef Boyardee and pegged the man in the head.
A dayside clerk KMBC talked with said she would have done the same.
"It's funny afterwards, I mean because he got cracked in the head with a can. Still, he deserved it," clerk Stacy Smith said.
Police arrested a man a short time later. Investigators said he fit the description and had a bump on his head.
