A man in Texas is now in custody after allegedly posing as a U.S. Marshal during an attempted robbery outside a liquor store last month, according to the Houston Police Department.

Jonathan Prince, 39, was arrested on Saturday after he allegedly tackled and attempted to rob the owner of La Sultana Liquor Store on June 15, the Houston Police Department confirmed to ABC News.

The owner of the store was taking out the trash when police say the suspect approached him, identified himself as a police officer and "told the victim to get on the ground."

This shows the need for more training..

Reyes was able to "pull his gun and shot at the suspect multiple times," police said.

Reyes needs more range time, he hits his target but the shot placement needs work...

The owner of the store was taking out the trash when police say the suspect approached him, identified himself as a police officer and "told the victim to get on the ground."

So the shop owner took out the trash.

My, how the tables were turned! The victim’s wife brought him a gun and helped to steady his hand as he shot the Fake Cop.
Fake Cop runs to car, loses his athletic shoes on pavement, attempts to go back for shoes, gets re-shot at. Gives up on athletic shoes, drives off with a roar.
