This is the moment a hero customer stopped a man robbing a Michigan minimart by shooting the suspect – while carrying a six-pack of Miller Lite beer.<\/p>\n
The incident occurred on July 27 when suspect Cordelius Anthony Martin, 35, armed himself with a boxcutter and tried to rob\u00a0Stone Lake Marathon’s cash registry.<\/p>\n
The unnamed customer,\u00a0who had a valid concealed carry permit, promptly took out his handgun and fired seven shots at the suspect.<\/p>\n
The customer then held the man at gunpoint until law enforcement arrived. It is not yet clear whether he will face criminal charges for the intervention.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The unnamed customer, who had a valid concealed carry permit, promptly took out his handgun and fired seven shots at the suspect<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Cordelius Anthony Martin, 35, armed himself with a boxcutter and attempted to rob Stone Lake Marathon Mini Mart\u00a0<\/p>\n
Martin, entered the store announcing ‘you know why I’m here’ before pulling a mask over his face.\u00a0He threatened the store clerk with the box cutter, cops said.<\/p>\n
The customer told law enforcement he could not see what the robber was holding but saw the fear on the clerk’s face, Wood TV reported.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The man fired the shots, one hitting a liquor bottle with others catching the robber in the arm, back and face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The customer told police the suspect fell to the floor but was crawling toward him.<\/p>\n
He therefore ran to his car to get another loaded magazine and held the suspect at gun point until officers arrived.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The suspect was released from hospital on Wednesday and arraigned on three charges, including armed robbery.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is not yet clear whether he will face criminal charges for the intervention<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The victim of the robbery, who did not want to disclose their name, told Target 8 the shopper ‘saved my life’<\/p>\n
He is being held on a $100,000 bond. Because he’s a three-time felon, he could face up to life in prison.<\/p>\n
Cass County Prosecutor Victor Fitz said he is waiting for police to finish the investigation before deciding whether to file criminal charges against the customer.<\/p>\n
‘In Michigan, obviously, we do have defense of others as part of the law in Michigan, that you can defend others if they’re in a situation that there’s dangerous force being used against them,’ he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘And certainly in this case, we’ll be looking at the facts in regard to that.’<\/p>\n
