my name across the store like that. i immediately went to the front. the cashier wasn't in her normal area so i went looking for her in the break room. she was there with the robber. he had the gun held to her head. i freaked -- i like literally jumped back. and he was like oh, no, get back in there. >> in the break room they are out of camera view. >> he was telling us to get on the ground and then he was asking about the money. >> frightened the women do as they are told. security camera video shows the man forcing the cashier to lock the front door. then he takes them to a storage room in the back, where he demands that mckinney tie up her coworker. >> i was freaking out. i initially even told him, i can't do that. >> he's like get down there and do it. we got down on the ground and i did it as loosely as i could. i don't want to hurt her. and then i got up and then he was like okay, let's go to the front of the store now and get the money. >> mckinney says he is familiar with the store's layout and

knows about a timed password protected safe. >> he is like i know we have to wait nine minutes. he knows we have to wait. he knows there is another area. >> mckinney punches in the password, but with nine minutes to wait the robber makes use of the time. he has mckinney take out the cash from the register. it's then emptied into a plastic bag off camera. he also does some last-minute shopping. >> he wapt wanted to go get some cigarettes. so go to the cigarette cab net. he only wanted a particular brand. i thought that was really crazy. and i was like okay this guy is really comfortable. he is having a good time, it seem. and we go back and he is like how much longer to the safe. >> under his watchful eye, mckinney does a time check on the safe again. i'm telling him how much longer, and during the time i had to push the code back in to see. as i wait for the safe, i tell him i'm waiting, i'm waiting. he's getting irritated. and he is like do you really want to lose your life over this

money. and i was like i'm not doing anything i'm trying to open the safe i just have to wait. he's like i'm not playing with you. now he is getting angry. >> within two minutes before the safe unlocks the robber wants to pick up one more item. >> he is like show me where the bags are. i take him to the bags picking out a back and he is like i want a black on black bag and i'm like this guy is living it up. i'm getting if bag and putting the money into the book bag and the money bag just falls and the natural reaction for both of us is to go down and pick it up with me. his hoodie falls over his head and he is discombobulated and i reached off and grab it and the gun just pushed. >> it turns out the gun is a toy. >> so after that it was over. i was like wait a minute. like you have been triesing us for the last 20 minutes, and you don't even have a real weapon. so at that time, i was like,

game on. >> he may not have a real gun, but he is an imposing figure. still, she lungs at him. the petite woman drags the 200-pound thief to his knees. >> a whole new reaction came over me. i felt just a sense of empowerment almost, like i was really trying to hurt him. i really wanted to hurt him. i wanted to beat this guy down for doing to this to us. i was a little angry. and then at one point during the struggle i was like i can't continue to fight this guy i've got to get some help. this guy is is a guy, he's bigger than me. i decided okay let me stop fighting and get out of here. that's when i tried to run. but he had my wrist. so i was like, well, you can come with me. i decided to drag him to the door. i was going to get out of there. i was going to get help some way. so i'm struggling to get the door open. that's when he like jumps on my back. i'm like oh, my gosh, this is not happening. so i finally get the door unlocked. and i like fall out the door. he's on top of me.

and then he sees that there is someone else outside. and that's when it's like, okay, and he high tails it off. >> mckinney's coworker in the back room wiggles her hands free from the loose knot. she dashes to the front of the store. mckinney calls the police. when officers arrive to investigate, i doesn't take long to crack the case. >> he dropped his keys. so he ran to his car, and he couldn't leave, so he hid down in the seat and when the police came, they got him. >> the masked man is michael gaines. he is convicted of robbery and sentenced to six years in prison. he isn't charged with armed robbery because his gun was a fake. police also learn that his visit to mckinney's store wasn't his first. >> he was a customer. i recognized his voice, and i was like, i can't believe this is someone that i've dealt with, doing this. you know, for him to be acting like that. >> mckinney and her colleague aren't hurt but she says if something like this ever happens again, she'll just hand over the
