This is the moment a hero customer stopped a man robbing a Michigan minimart by shooting the suspect - while carrying a six-pack of Miller Lite beer.
The incident occurred on July 27 when suspect Cordelius Anthony Martin, 35, armed himself with a boxcutter and tried to rob Stone Lake Marathon's cash registry.
The unnamed customer, who had a valid concealed carry permit, promptly took out his handgun and fired seven shots at the suspect.
The customer then held the man at gunpoint until law enforcement arrived. It is not yet clear whether he will face criminal charges for the intervention.
Martin, entered the store announcing 'you know why I'm here' before pulling a mask over his face. He threatened the store clerk with the box cutter, cops said.
The customer told law enforcement he could not see what the robber was holding but saw the fear on the clerk's face, Wood TV reported.
The man fired the shots, one hitting a liquor bottle with others catching the robber in the arm, back and face.
The customer told police the suspect fell to the floor but was crawling toward him.
He therefore ran to his car to get another loaded magazine and held the suspect at gun point until officers arrived.
The suspect was released from hospital on Wednesday and arraigned on three charges, including armed robbery.

The poor liquor bottle!
With that said I'd buy this guy a 24 pack of Miller Light.
Hold my beer.
Thank goodness it wasn’t Dylan’s delight beer. Nice work sir.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
That customer was too cool for school. Excellent!
Stupid robber. He should have looked for someone holding Bud Light.
I’m thinking if the hero was white, there’d be riots going on in Michigan and elsewhere.
I don't need a picture, do I?
I wouldn’t be surprised if AG Dana Nessel decides to go after the man because poor Cordelius deserves justice or something.
Looks like Kyle has some COMPETITION now.
He should of asked for the security tape and left.
So an armed citizen acted when police were nowhere to be found, and stopped a potentially violent crime before it could happen.
I love a happy ending.
No, it is a Roman Stoic of antiquity...
Three-time felon. Lookin' at life with Bubba. Plenty of time to heal those wounds.
He should of...?
The government is corrupt. It is run by criminals and perverts. The citizen who stopped the crime will be prosecuted as a criminal. They will attempt to ruin his life.
If you do not have to deal with police or government then do not.
Sadly, that’s a possibility.
