One would-be robber thought he had an easy one, but that dream was shattered immediately. While working the register, 54-year-old Jon Lewis Alexander, who happens to be a former prison guard and private investigator in addition to being a war veteran, was deemed a hero after he thwarted the actions of an armed man. The armed man walked into the store while smoking a cigarette when Alexander asked him to put it out. At that time, the man pulled out his gun and demanded “all the (expletive deleted) money.” The quick thinking clerk then pushed his hand (holding the gun) before pulling out his own, pointing it right into the man’s mouth threatening to “blow his (expletive deleted) head off.” Hit the jump to check out the surveillance footage.
