CRESCENT CITY, Calif. — An attempted robbery at a California supply store was thwarted when the manager threw hot coffee in the face of a masked intruder.
Chris Hegnes, manager of the Englund Marine and Industrial Supply, was going into work early Monday when he encountered a man in a mask charging at him with a hammer. Hegnes said he hurled his hot mocha at the man’s face and ran for it.
The man came after him for a few steps, then ran to a vehicle parked behind the store. The sheriff’s office is investigating.
