A Hispanic grandfather used his car as a weapon, jeopardizing his grand-son’s life, as he tried to rob a store

It was complete shock for many people outside an Orchard Supply store in Modesto after an elderly Latino robbed the store with his 2-year-old grandson in his arms. John Guadalupe Martinez, 65, walked out of the hardware store with power tools he didn’t pay for, and that’s when a brave employee stepped in. The store employee pulled a forklift behind the suspect’s vehicle. But Martinez didn’t stop there; he rammed the forklift with his truck at least three times with the child unrestrained in the back seat. Martinez was able to escape before dropping off the 2 year old at a relative’s house. Police say that Martinez is facing multiple charges, including robbery, assault with a deadly weapon and child endangerment.
