A man and a woman tried to rob some Girl Scouts in Prince George's County, authorities said, but the plot was foiled by the group's quick-thinking leader.
Temple Hills Girl Scout Troop 5819 leader Alliyah Harris said a drunken man and a woman approached their cookie stand on the last day of their drive Sunday and made a move for the donation box.
Harris said she hid the cookie sales envelope with about $1,400 in cash in it before the man, later identified by police as 48-year-old James Wright, shoved her into her daughter and a 10-year-old scout.
Wright then ran away but was caught by Harris' husband -- a federal police officer -- who chased him into a parking lot and held him until police arrived.
