The manager of a family-run liquor store said he chased away two would-be robbers but then officers mistook him for a miscreant and handcuffed him.

OAKLAND -- An Oakland liquor store is picking up the pieces after an early morning break-in. The manager of U & I Liquor on Telegraph Avenue did not want to go on camera but told KPIX he was armed and ready when intruders showed up.He armed himself with a gun and scared off two suspects who had entered through a front window.

Fearing that there may be more suspects inside the store, he pointed the weapon at his shop. He said that, at one point, he waved with his gun for help at a passing CHP car. He said he was detained in handcuffs in the cruiser and later passed on to the Oakland police department and released after an hour.Oakland police said in statement to KPIX:

Glad they let him go. He should have the right to protect his store…It’s obvious that OPD not doing Shi$t. Where is LibbySchaaf ? All this F’k in your city…you’re no where to be found. City workers are nowhere to be found 😂. JokeLAND…not Oakland anymore

Bravo, the owner did the right thing.

Very unfortunate but until police can establish who the man with a weapon was, they cannot let him go. Probably put in handcuffs as a precaution, they did some checking & then released him. He is very lucky they didn’t shoot first & ask Qs later, esp. as he waved his gun at them!
