Washington County sheriff's deputies arrested a man they say used a baseball bat to rob a gun store.
It happened at Discount Guns on the corner of SW Beaverton-Hillsdale Hwy and Laurelwood Ave just before 4 p.m. this afternoon.

Deputies say the store manager called 911 and reported that Derrick Mosley had smashed a display case and removed an unloaded handgun. That didn't seem to phase the manager, who drew his handgun and began giving Mosley orders, deputies say.

While on the phone with dispatchers, the manager said he had his gun pointed at the robber, and would keep him in the store until deputies arrived. Mosley was taken into custody without incident. In addition to the baseball bat, deputies say Mosley was carrying a knife.

No one was injured in the robbery. Mosley was lodged in the Washington County Jail charged with first degree robbery, first-degree theft, unlawful possession of a firearm and second-degree criminal mischief.

He is held on $250,000 bail, he will be arraigned on Friday.
