"He walked in and he had on a hoodie on, and he had gloves on, and he locked the door and then he comes at me and grabs my neck," says Keasha Conner, the clerk and manager at the business.

She says the man grabbed a bag of money and headed out of the door towards the back parking lot, and she went toward the street to flag down help. Police say Conner received minor injuries from the robbery and was treated at the scene.

Before police even got there, 39-year-old Dermott Lattin collapsed a few feet away from what police are calling his get- away car and collapsed.

"He made it out the front door of the business, rounded the building and made it to the back parking lot, approximately 20 yards," says Detective Jay Jackson with the Shreveport Police Department.

Sometimes life doesnt give you a chance to atone for your sins. So its better to just not be a thieving asshole and find a more legitimate means of survival. Was he fat? Or was he a meth user? Either one spells death by heart attack due to strain on your heart. Or a brain aneurysym.... Either way not a desirable means of dying. But as they say it could be worse. He could have been ran over after he passed out.

Id guess Meth, dont they usually have the employees behind bullet proof glass in check cashing and payday loan places? If not they are putting their employees in a lot of danger.
