On April 18, Republic Police Department officers were called to a Price Cutter to respond to a call about a robbery in which a man held an employee at gunpoint so that he would be served meat.

Larry Gene Gay, 70, of Springfield, is charged with one felony count of unlawful use of a weapon and a felony count of armed criminal action.

Court documents show that officers responded to the scene and ordered Gay to get out of his truck so they could arrest him. After he was taken into custody, an officer removed a loaded semi-automatic pistol with a bullet in the chamber from Gays hip holster.

In an interview, Gay said he went to Price Cutter to buy steaks. He told the good man who was helping him that they needed to weigh the steaks. However, the meat department was closed. Gay said at that point, he showed his gun Just to say Im not stealing. I need you here to help me to get a couple of these steaks. Im not going to hurt you.

The officer asked Gay why he thought the people in the store called police and told them he was threatening them with his gun.
I dont know, Gay said in the interview. I have no idea.


The employee said he received a call from the meat department about a man packing his own meat. The employee approached Gay and told him that he could not be there. Gay got upset and said he was going to keep doing what he was doing. The employee said he was not going to help him with the meat.

Once he held the gun to my throat pushed it into my throat I decided to comply, the employee told police.

...

........

Imagine having that much of a sense of entitlement that you do something like this and expect to just have no consequences

At 70, he might be losing his mental faculties if he can't understand why the police were called.

Sad situation if so.

Fucked up all around.

Bold move to brandish a gun to reassure the public that you aren't stealing and that you don't intend any harm.

A lot of times the meat department of a grocery store closes about half an hour early so they have time to take apart and clean the slicers. My ex years ago worked a deli counter and people would flip the fuck out when this would happen of course she never had anyone point a gun at her but did have a grown ass woman have a full on crying fit and say she was being threatened to her husband.

a lot of time there's extra training and certifications to be a meat cutter in a deli at the supermarket. You can't just have cashier Dave come and cut it, for liability reasons.

He might not all be there. Also, as stupid as it sounds I would be somewhat reassured if dude really just seemed like he wanted meat.

Well that does make sense since they have to be butchers. And that takes extra skill. I just never thought about that. I watched this show one butchers it was like a game show. And that is really a skill.

I work for price cutter. All he had to do was get a stocker to call the manager and they'd gladly help him at the service counter. This dude just couldn't be patient.
