Petite clerk shoots, kills 250-pound hotel robber
A small woman in her 50s working as a hotel clerk at a Columbia-area Days Inn shot and killed a robber "more than double her size" Monday morning, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said.
The suspect, Vincent Carson, 43, of Orangeburg, had held a knife to her throat, put the knife down and was apparently going to tie her up and sexually assault her, Lott said. "He was a career criminal on a crime spree and would not have stopped except for what happened this morning," Lott said.
The woman had been the victim of a prior robbery and had gotten permission from her hotel supervisor to carry a concealed pistol, Lott said. "She did not have a concealed-weapons permit, but you don't need one on private property where you have permission," he said. The clerk was preparing the hotel's breakfast about 6 a.m. when the attack happened at the Days Inn at 133 Plumbers Road.
