A 39-year-old man was arrested early Thursday after he tried to rob two men in a motel room, dropping his gun and later returning to buy back his own firearm, Bradenton police said.
At about midnight, Cedrick Mitchell barged into a room at the Royal Motel, 1526 14th Street West. He asked the two men inside for pills.
When they said they had none, Mitchell pulled out a black handgun from his waistband and demanded everything you got
, said Bradenton police Capt. Warren Merriman.
The men began to fight. During the scuffle, Mitchell dropped his gun and one of the victims pepper-sprayed him in the face.
Mitchell ran away. But moments later, he was back at the motel room and begged the two men to buy his gun back for $40, Merriman said.
