For 10 minutes, an apologetic gunman in Indianapolis got down on his knees and prayed with the woman he planned to rob. Then he gave her a hug and fled with $20, The Indianapolis Star reports.
"He said that he hated to have to do this, but times were hard and he had no choice," cashier Angela Montez, 43, told police, according to a police report.
Montez, who works at the Advance America payday loan office, says she began crying when she realized the man's intentions.
She began to talk to the man about God, she says, telling him he still had a chance to stop himself from committing the crime, The Star reports.
The robber replied that he had a 2-year-old child to support and then asked her to pray with him about overcoming his hardships. The two got down on their knees and prayed, remaining there for nearly 10 minutes, police said.
In response to Montez's kindness, the man took a bullet out of his handgun and gave it to her, according to the report, telling the clerk it was his only bullet and promising not to hurt her.
He then asked Montez for a hug, took her cellphone and told her wait in the restroom for 20 minutes before calling police.
The robber took four $5 bills from the cash drawer, leaving the rest of the cash in the drawer, according to the police report.
