JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A robbery at River City Marketplace forced shoppers to defend themselves Friday afternoon, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.
Jacksonville police said a 36-year-old man put multiple people at risk after he stole a cash register drawer from the Walmart at the shopping center.
Police said Christopher Hill ran out to the parking lot after grabbing a Walmart cash register and approached a couple sitting in their pickup truck in front of Supercuts hair salon.
Police said Hill pulled a knife on the man sitting in the truck, cutting him on the hands and legs. The injured man pulled out his gun and pointed it at the suspect, forcing him to run toward a nearby Starbucks, according to JSO.
Next, police said, Hill approached a woman in her car at the Starbucks drive-thru, got into the passenger seat and said that someone was chasing him.
The woman got out of her car, reached into the trunk for a gun and pointed it at Hill until he ran off, police said.
Hill eventually ran into the Supercuts and locked himself in a bathroom, according to police. When officers arrived, Hill came out of the bathroom with the knife in his pocket, police said.
Hill is being held on $91,000 bond on charges of strong arm robbery, aggravated battery and attempted carjacking.
So do I, LOL!
The walking sieve... I love stories that end well...
Jacksonville has a history of persecuting folks who defend themselves from armed ferals. Although crackers like this guy might not enjoy that benefit.
Name gave him away as a cracker.
Looks too healthy to be on meth. The guy needs an attitude adjustment judging from the look.

I love it when the cops have to rescue the bad guy from the law abiding citizens.
Just talked with a family member who lives down there. The m market they speak of is in the city itself.. but he shared they had four die from shootings yesterday.....gang related. That they’re dropping like flies down there.
The guy obviously wasn’t ready to die!
In those days and hereabouts it was almost certainly crack.
