When Ryan Flores, 30, tried to rob a Fresno Starbucks in July, Cregg Jerri, 58, forcefully stepped in to stop him. Flores now intends to sue Jerri for using too much force, Flores’s  mother said.

A security camera footage of the incident shows a man in a Transformers mask entering the Starbucks with a gun in hand. The man was identified by police as Flores. He then also pulls out a knife and hands a plastic bag to the barista demanding cash.
