Store Owner Uses Beer To Fend Off Robber

MARATHON, Ohio -- A Clermont County store owner used an unlikely weapon to foil an armed robbery on Monday.

The Clermont County Sheriff's Office said a man walked into Dave's Grocery on U.S. 50 in Marathon at about 9 p.m. and pulled out a gun, demanding money.

The store's owner, Narendra "Goppi" Patel, said he was preparing to close and was holding a six-pack of beer when the man came in.

Patel said he told deputies he picked up one of the beer cans and threw it at the robber, who ducked, losing his baseball hat.
