A would be robber in Bradenton,FL got an unpleasant surprise during his attempted armed robbery at a Walgreens pharmacy. Anthony Nemeth allegedly pulled out a gun and demanded pain pills from the woman behind the counter, but that’s when the woman’s boyfriend David West, a former state boxing champ sprung into action.
West came to visit his girlfriend on Valentine’s day and just happened to be there when the attempted robbery took place. After a struggle, West knocked out the perpetrator cold, and held him until police arrived.
“He started fiddling with his hands and went to reach into his pants and that’s when I reacted.”
“I really wasn’t trying to hurt anybody, I was just trying to do what was right, I was protecting the one I love.”
“I told him this, I hope he uses this as a turning point in his life.”
These are some great quotes from West. Perhaps the beat down the robber took will spur him to seek help with what appears to be a serious addiction.
