Ex-Marine Tackles, Lectures Bank Robber

Jul 11, 5:01 PM (ET) DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - Timothy Armstead was at a Washington Mutual Bank to find out how someone had stolen $100 from his account when a man wielding a fire extinguisher came in and demanded $2,000. As employees went to the bank vault to comply, the unidentified man began loudly counting down the minutes, attracting the attention of Armstead.

When the robber tried walking out, Armstead knocked the man to the ground. The man yielded without a fight. And while they waited for the police, Armstead said he lectured the man.
