Why you never rob an Italian restaurant.

This is a local story I just had to share.

Armed robber finds himself outgunned at Agatucci's

A man attempted to hold up a local restaurant Saturday night but failed after the owners drew their own weapons and chased the suspect away.


Demario Scott, 25, of 1107 W. Wilcox Ave. entered Agatucci's, 2607 N. University St., about 10:15 p.m. with a gun and demanded the owners empty their safe, police said.


Tony, Dan and Jim Agatucci all pulled out their own guns and Dan yelled at the suspect to freeze, said Dan Agatucci on Sunday night.


Scott panicked and ran out of the restaurant.


The Agatuccis chased Scott west on West Gift Avenue and fired several shots, according to police. Police are investigating whether any of the Agatuccis fired at the suspect or just into the air.


Scott was arrested near his home in the 1100 block of West Wilcox Avenue and booked on charges of armed robbery, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and not having a FOID card.

I'm sure Demario will think twice about robbing an Italian joint next time.
