Jesus Christ saves 15 women from armed robbery
A masked gunman who attempted to rob a group of women inside a
Lake City home Friday night may have got more than he bargained for.
Lake
City police say Derek Lee, 24, entered a house on Lakeview Avenue where
the homeowner had 14 women over for a jewelry party. Police say Lee was
wearing a dark ski cap on his head along with a bandana across his
face. He allegedly showed a gun and ordered the women to hand over their
money and phones.
One woman who thought it was a party gag pushed his hand aside
while laughing saying, "It's only a water gun." Police say Lee
(pictured, right) held the gun to that woman's head and said, "I'm not
joking, I'm going to shoot someone, give me your money."
Jacquie Hagler, who owns the house, says she then put her faith into action.
"When
I realized what was going on, I stood up and said, 'In the name of
Jesus, get out of my house now.' And he said, 'I'm going to shoot
someone.' And I said it again, real boldly," Hagler said.
"Everybody started chanting, 'Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,' and he
did a quick scan of the room, and ran out the door as fast as he could
go."
Police say based off of the
description given by the victims, investigators were able to identify
Lee and place him in a photo lineup. Several of the ladies at the
jewelry party pointed out Lee, who was arrested at his home at 11:17
p.m. Friday.
Wow! Way to go, Jesus!
