Man allegedly tries to carjack 3 football players with fake gun
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — A 21-year-old New Mexico man is accused of trying to carjack three football players with a fake gun.

Police say Angelo Martinez stopped the players as they were leaving football practice and asked for a ride, KRQE reports.

After agreeing, Martinez allegedly pulled the fake gun on them.

When he went to grab one player’s phone, they tackled him and held him down until police arrived.

Looks like they did more than hold him down.

My initial thought when I saw the thread title was "I wonder how that worked out for him?"

Apparently not well

Lesson - he should have started by asking for a helmet.

When I saw the thread title, I thought, "Why is the fact that they were football players germane?






Then I saw the picture.

Dang! Looks like he fell down the stairs a couple of times. Glad the football team was there to help him up and give first aid Big Grin

I understand he looked like that when he got in the car. And he was just beginning to turn his life around.

Well, in defense of those young men, they are used to playing with others who are all padded up and wearing helmets. Wonder how high he bounced when they 'held him down'? Big Grin

And fell down the side of a mountain, by the look of it. Karma's a bitch sometimes.
