Off-duty police officers on date night foil chicken shop robbery
Chase and Nicole McKeown, who have only been married for six months, had just finished their meal at Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers.
Two off-duty police officers out on a date sprang into action when they realised the chicken shop they were eating in was being robbed.
Detective Chase McKeown and Officer Nicole McKeown were eating at Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers in Louisville, Kentucky, when a man wearing a mask walked in and approached the counter.
“I saw her hands go up like this and I’m like ‘Is he doing what I think he’s doing?'” Mrs McKeown said. “And he’s like ‘Yeah’.”
The pair, from nearby Elizabethtown Police Department, chased the man out of the restaurant and made an arrest in the Highlands area of the city, alongside local officers.
According to local media, Raising Cane’s has rewarded them by offering them free chicken for a year.
“We were just doing what we were trying to do, no anticipation of any rewards or recognition,” said Mr McKeown.
“We’d be there whether we were paying or not.”
