    So basically a guy walks in with a knife and tries to rob a convenience store only to get his ass kicked by a 5'4" black belt!

    Dec. 19 - KGO - A thief got more than he bargained for when he tried to rob a convenience store in Modesto.

    Edward Petrossi, Quick Stop manager: "I said, 'Hey, you want my money? Come get it!' Right there I chased him. He was shocked."

    Edward Petrossi is 5'4" tall and weighs 130 pounds, but he wasn't going to let anyone rob his store. Petrossi has a black belt in six martial arts.

    He easily foiled the robbery attempt and then he went one step further.

    Edward Petrossi, Quick Stop manager: "Let me take a picture from this man. I take my cell phone. Thanks to technology. I zoomed in, really nice, and got it."

    The photo of the license plate helped lead police to the suspect in Fresno on Wednesday.

    Twenty-four-year-old Corey Allen Funk is suspected in four other robberies in Modesto. He's now being held on $250,000 bond thanks to some fast footwork by Edward Petrossi.

    Dude is a little weird. Acts like he is channelling a hyper Al Pacino.

    Perhaps he got his ass kicked one too many times growing up and is out to fight justice, the American way.

    He's lucky he didn't get shot. He may know karate, but does he know 357?
