Some soldiers are always on duty. From ABC 7 Chicago and AP:
Man alledly tries to steal church collection money
June 6, 2005 (MERRILLVILLE, Ind.) — A soldier home on leave after fighting in Iraq captured a would-be robber who was trying to steal money from a woman who had collected it for her church.
Army Specialist Chris Williams of Crown Point was shopping at the Meijer store in Merrillville yesterday afternoon when he heard a woman scream. She said (quote) "Help, I'm being robbed. He's taking the church money."
Then the 22-year-old northwest Indiana man rushed to help. He says he put a choke hold on the 41-year-old Gary man. Williams and another man held the suspect until police arrived to arrest him on a preliminary charge of theft.
The victim told Williams the suspect had pushed her shopping cart with two children in it out of the way. He then grabbed her money from a bank counter and tried to escape.
