Police say that 20-year-old Kentarias Gowans tried to pull an ill-advised Thanksgiving robbery at his place of employment, a Steak 'N Shake in Oakwood, Florida.
, Gowans called in to the restaurant off of Thurmon Tanner Parkway on Thanksgiving morning and told his supervisor that he was going to be unable to come in to work because he was too intoxicated.
The Steak 'N Shake scheduled other workers to cover his shift. Business proceeded as usual, until around 10 p.m. when Gowans entered the restaurant with a handgun and pointed it at a fellow employee's head, demanding money.Patrons of the restaurant as well as other employees quickly called 911 while they attempted to keep Gowans calm.
Officers were already in the area and responded to the restaurant within a minute. Many customers and employees fled the scene while the police coaxed Gowans out to the sidewalk and told him to drop the firearm. He briefly raised it towards the officers but then reconsidered, throwing it to the ground. After a brief physical altercation in which a Taser was used to incapacitate him, Gowans was taken into custody. Police noted that he was visibly intoxicated at the time.
