LANCASTER, S.C. -- A Lancaster man is accused of using an ax during an attempted robbery at a restaurant Wednesday morning. Leroy Deese was charged with armed robbery and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime after he tried to rob Rusty's Grill with an ax around 5:30 a.m., according to the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said Leroy entered the grill off of Pineview Drive with an ax and demanded money. The owner of the grill grabbed a gun and challenged Deese. Deese began apologizing, told the owner he was on drugs and fled the scene.
Deese was located a short time later several streets away from the scene by a patrol deputy, according to the report.
Deese is currently being held at the Lancaster County Detention Center awaiting a bond hearing.

Looks like it’s time to close the loophole on those evil double-bladed assault axes.

Choosing to be on drugs does not relieve a person of responsibility.After a while it ceases to be a choice. However, consequences will often assist the addict to choose to work the Program of recovery.

Choosing to be on drugs does not relieve a person of responsibility. True, but it might help explain why he was stupid enough to pick Rusty's Grill.

The owner of the grill grabbed a gun and..... "Welcome to Rusty's, you ain't from around here, is ya'?"
5:30 AM. I'm guessing the owner was up early and Leroy was up late.
