However my favorite celebrity is the man I used to call the coconut man. If you go back to my entry entitled Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts the man with the machete is also one of the local fisherman who nabbed two robbers.
From the Cayman Compass article
“They came out of the liquor store and one guy ran up and put the gun in my face and told me, ‘Give me your money and jewellery.’ I laughed and said ‘Not today, Bo-Bo. You’re not going to have my money and jewellery.”
He said the robber had not seen that Mr. Ebanks was carrying a knife and so was distracted when he dropped the knife on the ground. At that point, the fisherman grabbed the shotgun from the masked robber and disarmed him.
“There was a struggle and I took the gun from him. Then they ran off towards the bank and we followed them,” he said.
“One of them asked me to let him go. I told him he wasn’t going anywhere after he’d tried to rob me at gunpoint. He took the safety off the pepper spray and I told him if he sprayed me, he’d piss me off and I would beat him with this gun.
“He must have thought I was joking because he sprayed me in my face and eyes and shirt, so I beat him with the gun,” he said.
