Christmas Eve robber beaten and stripped of clothes by would-be victims

Oklahoma City Police responded to an armed robbery call at Head Honchos hair salon around midnight on the morning of Christmas Eve.

Police arrested 23-year-old Corneilyus Howeth for robbery with a firearm. Howeth also had a prior felony arrest.

Howeth forced the employees of the salon inside, telling them to empty their pockets. But when another employee distracted him, the owner of the salon tackled Howeth.

The two fought for the gun for a short time before other employees stepped in and helped take the gun from Howeth.

The employees then stripped Howeth of his clothes to make sure he wasn’t hiding more weapons and threw him outside.

Police showed up shortly thereafter to take Howeth into custody.
