A local bandit who tried to rob a drug store of its narcotics inventory in the middle of the afternoon yesterday on FM 1960 about a half mile west of I45 in Houston found out the hard way why it’s not a good idea to do that in Texas, particularly when it wasn’t his lucky day.

The robber’s timing was as bad as his selection of venue - he made his move when the store chain’s security manager, who happens to be a retired DPS trooper, was making an inspection visit to the store.

The bad guy’s tactical judgment left something to be desired as well – he opted to point his gun at the former trooper, whose extensive training and experience predictably kicked in and he responded properly, quickly and skillfully.

Said bandit won’t be doing that again.

This is the second pharmacy bandit whose violent career was ended by a retired police officer in less than a week. (The first one was in New York).
