Abstract
A man was on his way back to his office after his usual lunch break when he was accosted by a gun-wielding drifter. The mugger nervously proceeded to lift the victim’s wallet from the inside pocket of his jacket. The victim, however, seized upon a heroic moment and lunged recklessly at his hijacker. After wrestling the crook to the ground and relieving him of his firearm, the man angrily took back his wallet. As they continued to tussle on the sidewalk the two were surrounded by two sets of police who pryed them apart and spirited them down to the station. They both were booked and held over for arraignment. After a moment of shock the victim cried out, “But why am I being arrested? What’s the charge?” A burly desk sergeant replied “reverse robbery.”
