Coulson allegedly hit the employee with the end of his gun. The employee suffered minor injuries.
The suspect then jumped over the counter and took a bank deposit bag with $164 inside.
Three employees and a customer wrestled with Coulson until he dropped his gun, then pinned him to the ground.

Employees and Coulson each suffered minor injuries.
Police said Coulson previously worked at the pizza shop, and may have been a manager.
