Tattoo artist stops robbery
I just think this is really cool.....this is the guy that just did mine and Dave's new tats. He's a really nice guy who apprenticed under my regular artist.
Quote:
In one Norcross tattoo parlor, one can find the usual needles and ink, along with a couple of heroes.
They sprang into action when they heard screams coming from the beauty parlor next door, and it was all caught on tape.
Adam Goodman says he has been called many things, but “hero” is not among them.
“I’m just a tattoo artist,” Goodman said. “I don’t know what I would have done.”
Goodman was working when he saw the commotion in front of in the Flesh tattoo parlor. He ran out and saw a man with a knife, and says his instincts took over.
“I grabbed him by the neck,” Goodman said.
Goodman and his client helped wrestle 31-year-old Jonni Perez to the ground until police arrived. Police say Perez had just robbed Goodman’s neighbors at the La Unica Hair Salon.
The manager says the man came in and pulled out a big knife near closing time.
“He said give me your money,” Goodman said.
One frightened woman fled the store and says the man threatened to kill them. But after cleaning out the register, he fled, or at least tried to. Thanks to Goodman, he didn’t get very far.
Goodman says he is surprised by the attention, and the praise from police.
“I’m making up for mistakes from when I was younger, I guess,” Goodman said.
Perez faces three felony counts for robbery and aggravated assault. Police have also charged him with three counts of misdemeanor cruelty to children. Investigators say the manager’s children witnessed the robbery and were traumatized by the incident.
