A former Marine captured a robber at a 7-11 after the robber hit a female sales clerk . The man had gone out without paying and the clerk had followed him , then he attacked her . The Marine came out and summarily captured him . A former Army guy asked him if he needed help . The Marine's reply was " The Marines got here first ."

"I grabbed him, threw him on the ground, put his hands behind his back, sat on him and waited for the cops to come," Sjostrom said.
In just a matter of a few seconds Sjostrom had the man pinned. When the man realized he had no chance, Sjostrom said he became "pretty quiet."
"Anybody would have done the same thing," he said. "Another guy in the store said he was in the Army and asked if I needed any help."
With a grin, Sjostrom replied to the man, "The Marines got here first."
Proper military training was evident in this case . Even though police don't encourage such actions , sometimes such is the best way , otherwise the criminal may have injured the clerk further and probably gotten away to do the same another day .
