CBS 11 has this story (complete with video) about a Frisco store owner who thwarted an armed robbery by telling a gunman that God wanted him to vamoose.

According to the TV station, the would-be robber entered Extravagant Necessities, a gift boutique on Legacy Drive, just as owner Marian Chadwick was taking care of her last customer Tuesday evening and getting ready to close up.

The gunman, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and sunglasses, demanded money.

Chadwick told CBS 11 what happened next:

"I looked him straight in the eye and I said, 'In the name of Jesus, I command you to get out of my store. You are bound by the Holy Spirit and you are leaving.' "

The gunman turned and walked out of the store. No one was injured.

He left in a silver car, possibly a Kia.

Police said the same man may be responsible for armed robberies in Plano, Richardson, Allen and Frisco.

5. After the robber heard the guy bring up Jesus,

he probably figured, "If this is the brain trust running the store, I'll bet they won't have enough in the register to fill up my Kia" and left.

7. California's got a Frisco too?

There is also one here in Colorado up by Lake Dillon.

I think Texas' and Colorado's were named after the one in California.
