[BLAZE] A man allegedly trying to rob a Georgia store with a gun slipped on an icy patch and hit himself on the head before being arrested, police said.
The Gainesville Police Department said in a statement that they were called to an unidentified store on the 400 block of the Atlanta Highway in Gainesville in the early morning hours of Christmas Day at about 1:00 a.m.
There they found 30-year-old Luis Sajbocho-Ordonez injured on the ground.
An investigation found that Sajbocho-Ordonez had hid behind the business until an employee came out and he confronted him with a gun, demanding he hand over money.
The employee got into a physical altercation with the suspect. When a second employee exited the back of the business, Sajbocho-Ordonez was startled and fired off a shot from his gun.
Sajbocho-Ordonez then tried to run away, but he instead slipped on ice, fell down, and hit his head on the ground. Witnesses at the scene were able to take two guns from the injured man and hold him until police arrived. He was treated at the scene for his injuries. |
