A person allegedly displayed a knife and insisted on receiving the interlocutor's tea, according to the authorities' account.
In a surprising turn of events, a woman's quick thinking and bravery thwarted a robbery attempt at the Shoppes in Chino Hills on Monday afternoon.
The incident unfolded around 2 p.m. in a breezeway at the shopping centre, where a potential attacker demanded the woman's tea. Despite the tense situation, the woman remained unharmed throughout the ordeal.
The woman, showing remarkable presence of mind, threw her tea at the attacker, buying herself valuable time to escape and call 911. Her actions allowed her to avoid any documented injuries during the incident.
The Sheriff's Department confirmed that no injuries were reported during the robbery. The details of the incident did not involve any reported physical harm to either the woman or the attacker.
San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies moved swiftly, arresting Rashawn Lee, a 29-year-old Mississippi native, less than half an hour after the incident. Lee was detained at 2:26 p.m. and booked on one count of robbery.
Lee was released on bail on Tuesday afternoon. It is reported that he was detained for attempting to steal a cup of tea at a supermarket in Chino Hills.
Interestingly, a recent study by Andrew J. Campa found that a daily cup of tea can lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. It seems the woman's tea may have had more benefits than just a health boost, as it played a crucial role in foiling the robbery attempt.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of staying vigilant in public places and the power of quick thinking in challenging situations. The Shoppes in Chino Hills, known for its bustling atmosphere, can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that peace was restored swiftly.
