Tampa, Florida

Taking law enforcement into his own hands

Police say someone broke into the Pestos Italian Grill on North Tampa Street in Tampa early Monday morning.

A man living above the restaurant heard the commotion, grabbed a gun and confronted the suspect. He ordered him to the ground, but when the suspect refused and walked toward the man with a wine bottle, he fired a shot.

The burglar was not hit and managed to take off with the cash register, which was later found abandoned a couple of blocks away. The suspect was last seen running north on North Highland Avenue. He is described as a white male, 40-60 years old, with gray, shoulder-length hair, and was last seen wearing a short-sleeve dark shirt and dark pants.
