COSHOCTON COUNTY, OHIO — A 22-year-old armed with a knife, identified as Nicholas L. Hayes, didn’t get far in whatever he had planned. During his threatening of customers and employees inside a McDonald’s, an armed citizen happened to be at the right place at the right time.

Police are calling that armed citizen, 70-year-old James H. Bartlett, a hero for his quick-thinking actions.

According to a Facebook post on the Coshocton County Sheriff’s page, the sheriff’s office received a call at approximately 11:15 a.m. Saturday about a man with a knife at a local McDonald’s.

Sheriff’s determined when they arrived that Hayes was making threats while inside the restaurant.

Bartlett confronted Hayes in an attempt to protect the restaurant’s customers and employees. Bartlett, who has a concealed carry permit, drew his weapon and began to order Hayes to drop the knife, the sheriff’s office said.

According to the sheriff’s office, Hayes refused to comply and began to leave the restaurant. Bartlett pursued Hayes outside where he was able to convince Hayes to drop the knife.
