I’m not a huge fan of warning shots, but sometimes they work:
LAS VEGAS — Metro Police said they arrested a man who tried to rob a Red Lobster restaurant near Meadows Mall Thursday night.Officers said shortly before 10 p.m. a man with a gun walked into the seafood chain at S. Decatur Boulevard and Alta Drive and demanded money.
However, a person in the restaurant pulled out a gun and fired off a warning shot in the air. Police said that caused the robber to take off.
While fleeing, the suspect dropped the cash register drawer in the parking lot, so all of the money and gift cards was retrieved, according to police.
No one was hurt. Metro said their detectives combed a large vicinity of the area to find the suspect.
He was taken into custody a short time later
