VANCOUVER -- Two Washington residents tackled an armed robber at an Elmer's Restaurant on Sunday and held him until police arrived.

Vancouver police received a report of a robbery at the restaurant, 11310 S.E. Mill Plain Blvd., about 2:30 p.m.

By the time police got there, Dennis Hallman of Olympia and Benjamin Radach of Longview were detaining the alleged robber, Russell R. Rogers, 64, of Camas.

Police arrested Rogers on an allegation of first-degree robbery and took him to the Clark County Jail.

Benji "Razor" Radach and Dennis "Superman" Hallman were sitting in a Restaurant in Vancouver, Washington. An armed crook came into the restaurant and tried to rob it but unknown to him Benji is about 70 feet away. A woman comes running toward Benji and Dennis screaming "theres a guy with a gun". Benji notices the gun in the guys right hand but the thug is looking off to the left yelling at people. Benji says"Its the kind of thing you go over in your mind, what would you do in a situation like that". He knew if he could get to the guys hand he could break his grip on the gun and with Benji's adrenalin pumping its just what he did. Benji disarmed the thug and then for good measure KTFO the thug breaking his upper mandible. The Restaurant bought their meals and a Bloody Mary for Benji. No one was hurt short of the idiot that brought the gun.

How could anybody say they were hurting people for no reason? The ****er WAS ROBBING THE STORE~! I'd say that deserves, at least, a little bit of hurt.

It was Vancouver Washington. Its just on the other side of the divide.

There's a portion of Vancouver thats in Washington? I'm assuming it's a "boardertown", so to speak.
