Food Shop Owner With 8-Pound Ham Foils Robbery Attempt by Teen-Agers
GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) - Three teen-agers trying to rob a food shop were scared off when the owner hurled an 8-pound ham and started swinging his fists.
"They didn't get anything," said Morris McClure, 61. "I've worked too hard to give up my money to three punks like that."
Sheriff Steve Cronic said McClure was attacked Thursday after one of the teens asked for ham.
"I went in the back, and when I came back out two of them jumped me," McClure said. "They hit me in the head with something. It hurt like the dickens, but I didn't go down."
McClure he lobbed the ham, then "got one real good in the stomach with a left."
