He was supposed to be making an early morning bread delivery, but truck driver Joseph Chilton delivered some heroics instead when he stumbled upon an armed robbery in progress at a Georgia fast-food restaurant, authorities said.
Trouble was already underway when Chilton arrived at a Hardee's restaurant in the Atlanta suburb of Ellenwood about 6:30 a.m. on Saturday and spotted terrified employees running out a back door, according to the Clayton County Sheriff's Office.
The suspect, identified as Damario Kentrell Parrish,"had jumped across the counter and pointed a weapon at a female employee demanding cash," according to a statement from the sheriff's office. "The bread man put his gun up. The robber put his gun up and the bread man shot him four times."His [the suspect's] car was here, but he was able to stumble off into the woods," Keysa Roberts, the manager of the Hardee's, told ABC affiliate station WSB-TV in Atlanta.He was taken to a hospital, treated for two gunshot wounds and later booked into the Clayton County Jail.
Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill released a statement praising Chilton for intervening and risking his life.
