Man uses fake leg to take down robber
Man uses fake leg to take down robber
MIDDLETON, Mass. - A Massachusetts man who used his prosthetic leg to take down a robber says he didn't have time to think, he just reacted. Stephen Cornell peered through the window of his neighborhood convenience store in Middleton on Wednesday and saw a man pointing a gun at the owner. He tells The Salem News he intended to tackle the thief when he left JC Grill & Pizza, but instead stuck out his artificial leg and tripped him. Cornell and owner Edson Andrade disarmed the thief and dragged him back into the store in a chokehold before calling police. The weapon was a pellet gun. The 55-year-old Cornell lost his leg at age 12. The suspect, 23-year-old Eric Homen, pleaded not guilty to charges including armed robbery.
