Pendleton store owner pulls gun on robber
A Pendleton storekeeper demonstrated today that robbing stores might not be a wise occupation in the Eastern Oregon rodeo town where he lives.
When a man entered the Double J Drive-Through convenience store about 9 a.m. and demanded money, owner James Dean Zellers, 60, pulled a revolver and held him for police.
Arrested was Raleigh Ray Reynolds, 25, of Pendleton, said police Lt. Mark Swanson.
The robber didn’t have a gun and no shots were fired. “I think by his actions and body language he was deeply surprised that the store owner had a weapon and pulled it on him,” Swanson said.
