It's a bluff. He got the guy to stop. If the guy gets up and bolts, so be it. Nothing says one has to pull the trigger once the gun it's pulled.

Guy running away, is not a threat. LTC holders were unaware that the woman helped set up the victim. But obviously the "brains" behind the scheme didn't know the rules regarding deadly force, and decided to give up rather than take a chance. It may be unChristian of me, but based on his record, if he had been shot during the commission of this crime, I probably wouldn't have lost much sleep.

Police: Victim in Cumberland shopping center robbery was part of crime

Good, I hope they both get plenty of time behind bars. Their plan fell apart when they didn't realize that LTC holders can and will step up.

This is what I would have thought also, but according to the link in OP it says, . . .

Boening was held on the ground until an off-duty Game Warden who was in the area took him into custody.

He was later arrested when Tyler police arrived.

Boening is being charged with aggravated assault.

The incident is still under investigation.

Maybe they will up the charge after the investigation is complete.

You're correct , I saw he was charged with Ag Assault. The "armed robbery" was my term for what he tried. I'm hoping the DA will load him up as in two counts of Ag Robbery. I couldn't determine whether he was still on probation.

He committed both AG. Assault and AG. Robbery, he can be charged with both felonies. With his record, he should never have been on the street to commit this crime. Evidently he doesn't think laws apply to him. I hope he gets several years as a ward of the state, to change his mind.

Great story!
Perfectly handled by LTC holders, game warden etc. I just wonder why the BG wasn't also charged with Aggravated robbery? No money or goods actually have to be obtained, just threatening with a knife, meets the elements of the offense.
