Suspect robs hardware store with an axe

A man had a plan when he walked into a Home Depot near 11th and Peoria Saturday night.

Police say Trevan Brewer asked an employee where the axes were located.

He went over to the aisle, picked one out, and walked over to the service desk.  Brewer then began hacking up the desk with the axe.

Police say once he was done, Brewer went behind the counter, held up his axe, and demanded money.

His plan didn't take one thing into account.

An off-duty officer happened to be working at the store.  Police say the officer subdued Brewer and took him into custody.

Brewer was taken to the Tulsa County Jail.  He faces a count of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon.
