Man says a gun was held to his head during a trip to the gas station

ROSSVILLE, Ind. (WLFI) - One man is in custody after holding a gun to another man's head at a Rossville gas station.

Nineteen-year-old Ethan Brown said he was in his truck at a pump at the gas station on the corner of State Road 26 and U.S. 421. He said a man kept staring at him. The man then approached his truck, opened the door, held a gun in a brown paper bag to his head and demanded money.

Brown said that's when a woman who was with the gunman pulled him away from Brown's truck and took his gun. Brown got back in the truck, locked the door, and called 911. He said the man came back and tried to punch out his window. The woman convinced him to leave and they took off.
    
Brown said it was a moment he will never forget.

"I was scared to death. I thought, any second this could turn really bad. But she was able to get the gun out of his hands and everything kind of calmed down after that," Brown said.

The Clinton County Sheriff's Office said Sean Michael was arrested at his Frankfort house this evening. He faces a preliminary charge of armed robbery and is in the Clinton County jail as of Friday night.
