TOPPENISH —A delivery driver resisted an armed robber shortly after 11 p.m. Aug. 13, on the 10 block of South H Street, according to a police report.
Officers who responded to a report of a robbery at that location were told that a Hispanic male about 19 years old had accosted the delivery driver, drew a handgun from his waistband, and grabbed at the driver’s shoulder bag.
The driver, who was also armed, struggled with the would-be thief, and pushed him to the ground, the report said.
After the brief struggle, the suspect reportedly saw the driver’s weapon and fled the scene.
