A man has been arrested after allegedly trying to rob an Austin, Texas pizza shop and getting some rough justice in the process.
Richard Curtis, 19, has been charged with aggravated robbery, according to Fox 7 Austin. He allegedly walked into a Marcos Pizza location around 7pm on Thursday and approached an employee.
The man allegedly slipped a worker at the restaurant a note stating, Dont say s**, empty the drawer. He then showed the employee a gun in his waistband, an affidavit obtained by the outlet stated.
The worker then grabbed the man and put him in a chokehold while a co-worker called police.

Should have just ordered the combo.
Obviously workers should not risk their lives for a couple of bucks... but still cheerful news.

I blame my mom. Some of my siblings and I inherited the Berserker in her, from her mom.
I'm not sure anything good comes of it.
Cash is just paper and guns are just fucking stupid.
I have a knife scar on my arm that reminds me to be thoughtful.
