SOUTHAVEN, MS (abc24.com) - A gun-wielding robber at a Southaven pizza joint didn't get far after police arrived and caught him in the act.

Southaven Police were called to the Little Ceasar's Pizza on the 500-block of Stateline Road around 8:00pm on December 5, 2011. According to SPD Det. Mark Little, the suspect had walked into the business armed with a handgun and demanded money. While the suspect was still in the store, officers arrived on the scene. The suspect fled out of the back of the store, but was quickly apprehended with the assistance of the K-9 Division.

26-year-old Desmon Lee of Horn Lake was arrested and charged with Armed Robbery and Convicted Felon in Possession of a Handgun. He is being held at the Desoto County Jail on $110,000 bond.

Too bad he didn't try to rob Papa John's in Hickory Hood. He wouldn't be in that picture with eyes wide open. What ever happened to the driver that shot that thuglett? I hope he got a big promotion and a big raise.
