STERLING HEIGHTS, MI -- It was just after 9 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 27 when one of Marcia Rabideau's managers beat on the door of the Sterling Heights Arby's and yelled, "I just was robbed!"
Rabideau said she could see the alleged armed robber running so she jumped into her Dodge Charger and gave chase, cornering him at a river bank where she then pulled her Glock 9mm pistol and held him until police showed up.
Police, however generally advise against people chasing robbers, especially those who are armed with a weapon.
"I didn't think, I just reacted," Rabideau said. "Just being stupid, I guess."
Fighting crime could be in Rabideau's DNA, as she used to head Saginaw's Arson Watch to keep arsonists from setting fires on the night before Halloween and her husband is the police chief for the village of St. Charles and a retired Saginaw police officer.
