“ He had a knife, and he showed it,” Shope said. “Still, I said, ‘You’re not doing this to me,’ pushed him up against the wall, tackled and struggled with him and that’s how I got cut. When I pushed him up against the wall, the knife was knocked out of his hand under the desk in the office. Papers flew all over the office. “I’m sure he was surprised at me, but he had a mask on, one of those hockey masks,” Shope continued. “He tried to make a run for it. He started going out the door, and I yelled for Heidi. She grabbed the back of his sweat shirt, kept pulling and you could hear him gasping for air because she was starting to choke him with his sweat shirt. We kept struggling. I got knocked into the gum machines outside the office, and then I hit the side of the ice cream machine as we were taking him down.” Shope kept saying “You are not doing this to me.” And when he was on the ground, she said, “‘Give me back my money.’ I grabbed it from him, ran into the office, threw the money on the table, made sure the door was locked. Then I said a few choice words, which I can’t repeat here, about how dumb I thought he was for robbing us. That’s when the police arrived. They did their job.
