Toledo, OH:
Showing that he will not be outdone in his bid for mayor, Republican Candidate Jim Moody has placed himself on the same level as former Fire Chief and fellow candidate Mike Bell.
In the early morning hours of Monday April 6th Jim Moody stopped at a local BP only to find 18 year old Darren Wilkins holding a gun to cashier Jill Williams. Upon entering the store Mr. Moody saw the events unfolding and ran our screaming like a little girl, as he reached his car he remembered he was running for mayor and the allure of votes took him back into the store and right into the face of danger. As Mr. Moody approached the 18 yr old Wilkins and tried to talk the youngster out of store, Mr. Wilkins turned and pointed the gun at Mr. Moody.
"I'm not going to lie, I was scared but even with the gun in my face I reached down and rubbed my WWBD (What Would Bell Do) bracelet and that gave me all the courage I needed" said Moody.
As Mr. Wilkins demanded Mr. Moody step back the 47 years old Williams fled the store and called 911. Mr. Moody then disarmed the gunman with a quick kick to the shins and chop to the foreman. As the gun slid to the floor a scared Mr. Wilkins fled the scene.
Mr. Moody waited around for 4 1/2 hours for the police to arrive but unfortunately due to budget cuts Toledo Police response time has been increased to anywhere between 36 and 48 hours.
