Martin Vantubergen admitted that he was told by his wife to take action to stop a man who stole the money from a 67 year old man who won money playing video games at a Shari's Restaurant on Saturday afternoon.
A 67 year old man had won some money playing a video lottery game. When the lottery winner went into the parking lot area, he was hit from behind by the robber who then attempted to flee by riding on his bicycle when Martin tackled the robber and with the help of some other people, held down the suspect until the Beaverton police took the suspect into custody on a charge of third degree assault.

@Deepizzaguy It's not nice to steal money, period.

Me too since it is not nice to steal money from anyone who wins a lottery in a video game.
