Two Men Make a Citizen's Arrest In Sherman

Posted: Oct 13, 2006 07:38 AM

A citizen's arrest in Sherman has resulted in hero status for two local men. A would-be armed robbery was foiled yesterday afternoon on Sunset street in Sherman. Chelsea Hover has the story.

Just before 12:30, the suspect went into Sunset Food Mart and put a few items on the counter, like he was going to make a purchase. Then, he threw a cup of scolding hot chocolate in the clerks face, went around the counter and allegedly pulled out a large knife. He threatened the store clerk for money. But instead of paying, the clerk wrestled the robber to the ground, and with the assistance of a customer, held him down until the Police arrived.

58-year old James Douglas Hayes was arrested for aggrevated robbery. He is in the Grayson County Jail tonight. The clerk was taken to Wilson N Jones for minor burns on his face from the hot chocolate.
