Doms Deli, 135 Prangs Lane, New Castle, Delaware, New Castle County
Date and Time of Occurrence: Thursday, March 5, 2009, at approximately 12:10 p.m.
Suspect(s): Gerald T. Bulat, 28, of Middleboro Road in Wilmington
Resume: Yesterday, a robbery suspect got more than he bargained for when he tried to rob a New Castle area delicatessen.
At lunch time, 28-year-old Gerald T. Bulat, Jr, walked into the Dom’s Deli on Prangs Lane, in New Castle, with an article of clothing covering his face. The would-be robber was armed with a tire iron and he grabbed the tip jar from the service counter. A store employee grabbed the tip jar too and a struggle ensued. The tire iron fell to the floor which allowed two customers to grab onto Bulat and hold him until Troopers could arrive.
Troopers showed up on scene and took Bulat into custody. He was transported back to Troop 2 where he was formally charged with the following offenses: Robbery 1st (felony), Possession of a Deadly Weapon during the Commission of a Felony (felony) and Wearing a Disguise during the Commission of a Felony (felony).
A computer check revealed Bulat was also wanted by Court 2. In total, bail was set at $67,094.00 secured and Butler was remanded to the Howard Young Correctional Institute.
The tire iron fell and allowed 2 customers to grab him until troppers arrived..... hmmmmm look at his face, seems they must have grabbed him by the ears and nose and held on until they arrived.

ReplyDelete"Joey doesn't share food!!!"
This guy didn't have a gun and customers were quick to pounce on him...concealed carry would deter alot of crimes like these...
ReplyDeleteWait a minute! This guy grabbed a tip jar? Dam joe, all he wanted was a quarter to pay for the meter. The tire iron was because he was helping an old lady change her tire. Gess, there is no crime in DE either.
ReplyDeleteHe can probably press charges of assault and battery against the customers.
ReplyDeleteI would bet that nobody saw anybody hit that scumbag! Good for the customers and management there! You guys ROCK!
