Teen makes mistake of trying to rob former U.S. Marine

[mawilson 2,133]

SANTA ROSA - A boy in his mid-teens learned Wednesday afternoon that it is not

a good idea to try to rob a former U.S. Marine at knifepoint, even if the former

Marine is 84 years old, police said today.

Santa Rosa police Sgt. Steve Bair said that's what happened around 2 p.m. in the

1600 block of Fourth Street. The elderly man was walking with a grocery bag in

each arm when the boy approached him with a large knife, Bair said.

The boy said, "Old man, give me your wallet or I'll cut you," Bair said. The man told

the boy he was a former Marine who fought in three wars and had been threatened

with knives and bayonets, Bair said.

The man then put his bags on the ground and told the boy that if he stepped closer

he would be sorry. When the boy stepped closer, the man kicked him in the groin,

knocking him to the sidewalk, Bair said. The ex-Marine picked up his grocery bags

and walked home, leaving the boy doubled over, Bair said.

The man reported the attempted robbery to police 45 minutes later.

Bair said the teen is described only as 15 or 16 years old. Anyone with information

is asked to call the Police Department.
