6-year-old Gary Edwards and his wife Anna were leaving the Cracker Barrell on Delk Road Monday evening when they heard a woman screaming at a gas station across the street and saw a man trying to carjack her.
“I ran out, basically tackle the guy and knock him down. There’s a little scuffle there. He starts running back towards Delk Road.”
Police say the suspect, 32-year-old Rico Riley, then tried to carjack a family at the intersection, but Edwards, now armed with his wife’s gun, stops him.
“I draw the gun on him. Tell him to step away from the car and get down. I yell out, ‘hey get off of her and start running,” Edwards said.
Edwards held Riley at gunpoint until police officers arrived.
