Store owner finds out he chased, tied up former basketball star
Gas station owner Bobby Schneider didn't know or care that the robbery suspect he tackled to the ground was once the nation's leading freshman scorer in men's college basketball.
Only then did Schneider learn that the suspect in the first robbery of his family's BP Lansdowne Service Center in 32 years was Erik Brown, a former basketball standout in Kentucky.
Erik was a <span style='c

shier Theresa Jones opened the cash register drawer, looked at the man wearing a do-rag covered by a black Adidas cap
, and said, "That will be 63 cents."
The 6-foot-5 man reached 4 feet across the counter, pushed Jones down and dug his fist into the cash register, grabbing all the 20s and the 10s and even some of the fives, she said. She saw no weapon.
