Man robs Raising Canes - only customers are off duty cops (video at link)

Justin Carter figured he’d knock over a virtually empty chicken joint in Louisville Saturday night. How hard could it be? It was late — about 10 p.m. — probably near closing and the store had only two customers.

What could possibly go wrong?

As the video above shows, Carter chose…poorly. Those two customers minding their own business and eating a late dinner were off-duty cops.

From the AP:

A masked man attempting to rob a Kentucky chicken joint at gun point wound up fleeing the restaurant empty-handed when two married police officers on a date night chased him from the scene, authorities said.

Elizabethtown Police Officer Nicole McKeown and her husband, Det. Chase McKeown, were off duty and eating Saturday night when the man tried to rob a Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers eatery in Louisville, The Courier-Journal reported.

An arrest citation said Justin T. Carter, 30, entered the restaurant wearing a mask and flashed a gun at an employee several times while demanding money from the register, the report said.

Authorities determined that Carter's gun was stolen from Jeffersontown police, the report said.
