The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a cup of coffee

MUNCIE, Ind. -- Quick action by a convenience store clerk helped stop a robbery.

The man used a cup of coffee as his weapon.

Remnants of a coffee flung across the room remain on paperwork near the front register, though most of it ended on the face of a would-be-robber.
