Police: Armed customer stops KFC robbery "Police say a would-be robber is in jail this morning after a customer foiled the suspect’s attempted hold-up of a restaurant on the Westside.
William McMiller Jr., 40, was arrested on an initial charge of robbery after he demanded money and threatened to shoot a cashier at the Kentucky Fried Chicken, 2801 W. 16th Street, at about 3:20 p.m. Thursday, according to Indianapolis police reports.
McMiller, records show, is being held in the Marion County Jail on $80,000 bond.
McMiller, police said, ordered a bucket of chicken then told cashier Deanne Slaughter: “Give me the money before I shoot you.”
The suspect held his hand in his back pocket as if reaching for a gun, police said, then lifted his foot to jump over the counter.
Paul Sherlock, a customer sitting in the dining room, approached and pointed a Taurus 9-mm handgun towards the suspect’s back.
The suspect raised his hands over his head, police said. Sherlock ordered him to lean against a window with his hands up until police arrived.
Police found a long screwdriver, not a gun, in McMiller’s pocket.
Sherlock told The Star today that he was acting on instinct.
“I was nervous man, I ain’t gonna lie, not scared though,” he said. “It never crossed my mind that he might try to do something to me.”
Sherlock was in the restaurant waiting for a friend who works there when the robbery occurred. The suspect was focused on getting the cash and didn’t notice Sherlock moving in from behind.
He said he hopes McMiller spends some time in prison for the crime.
“I hope he gets what he deserves,” Sherlock said, “at least a little time to think about what he was doing.”
Sherlock had a valid gun permit, police said.
