Robbery suspect tries to steal from off-duty cop

CINCINNATI -- Police Spec. Dennis Ficker wasn't in uniform when a man approached from behind, stuck something sharp in his side and said, "Gimme your money!" Ficker told investigators.

Ficker, a 30-year cop, couldn't believe what he heard. That's when Ficker reached for his gun, and the man ran.

Ficker said he chased David Joseph Moore for a couple of blocks until Moore got on the ground and gave up.

Moore, 21, has been charged in two burglary cases.
