Thief’s cattle prod trumped by clerk’s gun

Authorities say a Florida man has been arrested after he tried to rob a convenience store with a cattle prod but was thwarted by a clerk with a gun.

The Leon County Sheriff's Office says 26-year-old Lance Tomberlin went into a store just outside Tallahassee on January 2, produced the cattle prod and demanded money from the clerk. Officials say he shocked the clerk several times before the clerk pulled a handgun.

The sheriff's office says Tomberlin was arrested Tuesday and charged with armed robbery and aggravated battery.
