HARTWELL - "A man driving a lunch wagon escaped a robbery attempt just after noon Friday by shooting one suspect while another ran away, authorities said.
"I'm sitting in the house and I heard six gunshots, maybe more. It sounded like it was coming from two different guns," said Jon James, 22, of Hartwell.
Police say they found five shell casings in the area.
"It was the loudest stuff you heard in a while. My first thought was somebody was playing, shooting up in the air or something like that."
James speculated the robbers targeted the driver because he cashes checks on Fridays and is known to carry a lot of money.
Cincinnati police Lt. Chris Matzen said two men tried to rob the driver of the lunch wagon at Millsdale Street at Curzon Avenue, just west of Anthony Wayne Avenue.
During the attempted robbery, one suspect fired shots. Police did not release the robbery victim's name.
Matzen said the lunch wagon driver then pulled out a .45-caliber handgun and shot one suspect in the leg. The man was in critical condition at University Hospital, police said. His name was not released.
Police said the lunch wagon driver has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.
A warrant for Demarcus Allen Pleasure - the man police say ran off - was issued Friday on charges of aggravated robbery, said Lt. Gary Brown.
Brown said Pleasure, 19, frequents the Corryville area.
James said he used to buy items from the driver when he worked in construction. He thinks he knows why the driver was targeted.
"He cashes checks on Fridays," James said. Many in the area know the driver carries money on Fridays.
When James ran three doors down to the intersection of Curzon and Millsdale, he saw money lying in the street. "There was money all over the ground, thousands of dollars, I bet," he said.
The driver was on top of the wounded man.
James said he saw another gun nearby on the ground.
When police arrived, the driver still had his gun on the wounded man, James said. The lunch wagon driver was placed in a police cruiser and driven away."
WE of course don't need a detailed description of Mr. Demarcus Allen Pleasure, because his mommy decided to forever identify him with an American negro name, and don't think this doesn't make the race-baiters angry as all hell. Somewhere, the Rev. Al is dictating a memo to his speechwriters to put together a sermon on going back to names that don't scream LOOK AT ME I'M BLACK. Amazing thing about it all is the fact that his happened in Ohio, and the responding officers didn't shoot the victim.
BTW, that .45 slug in the leg is gonna sting in the morning, yes it is.
