Intense video shows the moment Las Vegas smoke shop owner stabs would-be thief: 'I was in a fight or flight mode'

by Leave a Comment

Video captured the harrowing moment when the owner of a Las Vegas smoke shop stabbed a would-be robber.

Johnny Nguyen was working at the Smokestrom Smoke Shop in the middle of the day on Wednesday when two individuals wearing ski masks walked into his store. In the surveillance camera video, Nguyen can be heard asking them, “Why are you guys wearing masks like that?”

Nguyen then said, “Can you guys just leave?”

One of the youngsters takes a tip jar. Nguyen told them that they can take the jar, but asks them to leave the coins.

Suddenly, one of the individuals jumps over the counter. That’s when Nguyen began stabbing the would-be thief.

Nguyen stabbed the would-be robber seven times with a knife.

The other person instantly ran out of the smoke shop.

As he is being stabbed, the would-be thief yells, “I’m dead! I’m dead!”

He then falls to the floor. Nguyen drags the would-be robber near the front door of the smoke shop.

Immediately after he had stabbed the would-be thief, Nguyen called the police.

Nguyen told FOX5, “The whole time I was a little bit nervous because obviously I was getting robbed.”

“I was really scared for my life because they were wearing baggy clothes… one of them came in with a bag as if he had a firearm,” the smoke shop owner said.

“I was in a fight or flight mode… a lot of adrenaline going through my body,” Nguyen added.

“I honestly don’t recall what I was thinking,” Nguyen told KSNV. “I assumed they had guns on them.”

Nguyen revealed that he plans to purchase a gun for the store in the event that his store is robbed again.

“I don’t know who they’re friends with, maybe they want to come back and do something else, so I just must stay vigilant,” Nguyen said.

Nguyen told KLAS-TV, “I don’t think he planned on getting stabbed that day obviously, but if you try robbing a store you are taking a risk. This is a small business obviously.”

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said they had arrested two juveniles involved in the attempted robbery of the Smokestrom Smoke Shop in Las Vegas.

The would-be robber was taken to a local hospital after the foiled robbery attempt. Authorities did not reveal the health of the would-be thief who was stabbed.

No charges have been filed against Nguyen at the time of publication.

Man locks puppy in car for hours with its mouth taped shut in Las Vegas heat while he gambles in air-conditioned casino: Report

by Leave a Comment

Security guards at a Las Vegas casino averted disaster last week when they rescued a puppy who had been left trapped in a car for hours on the rooftop of a parking garage in the middle of the afternoon. Its mouth had allegedly been taped shut.

On July 20, Las Vegas Metro Police Department said that officers received a call from security at the Bellagio on the Las Vegas Strip at approximately 3 p.m. local time to report that a Husky puppy had been discovered in a car parked on the rooftop deck of the casino parking garage. Security guards were able to rescue the puppy, estimated to be three months old, by bringing it out through the sunroof of the vehicle. The dog had reportedly been left unattended with the windows up, no water or air conditioning, and with tape over its mouth.

Once police arrived, a witness told them that there had been “a lot of saliva” on the dog when it was first extracted from the car and that “he wasn’t able to breathe.”

Shortly after their arrival, Raul Carbajal, 50, of Corona Del Mar in Southern California, appeared on the scene and admitted to police that he owned the vehicle in which the dog had been found. Carbajal was immediately placed under arrest for willful and malicious torture of an animal.

LVMPD has since released the bodycam footage of the arrest:

“You’re going to jail on a felony for willful endangerment of an animal,” an officer can be heard telling Carbajal. “[Do you] realize how hot it is outside? You had the vehicle off, the windows up, and you had tape around your dog’s mouth.”

In a series of tweets, LVMPD also claimed that dog had been in the car in that condition for two hours while Carbajal went gambling in the air conditioning. The high temperature in Las Vegas that day was 113 degrees.

“NOTE: *DO NOT LEAVE PEOPLE OR ANIMALS IN HOT CARS. PERIOD,*” LVMPD reminded all readers.

According to ABC News via MSN, the husky puppy is still in the care of animal control and is receiving medical treatment.

Video: Las Vegas homeowner narrowly escapes death when suspect's firearm jams during attempted robbery

A Las Vegas homeowner narrowly escaped with his life after an attempted murder suspect tried to shoot him in what police are calling a botched robbery.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is requesting help to identify a black male suspect who was recorded on a home security camera pulling a gun on a homeowner and demanding property from the man on Sunday.

Police said that on the afternoon of July 24, the victim was returning home and parked his vehicle in his garage when he was approached by the unidentified suspect, who was armed.

The armed suspect attempted to rob the man, who fled. As the victim ran away, the suspect pursued him and attempted to shoot the man, but the weapon jammed. The suspect then ran to a nearby parked vehicle and fled the scene, police said.

The police department released video of the incident that was taken by a Ring security camera that appears to belong to one of the victim’s neighbors.


In the video, two men are seen running across a street. The first is an unarmed white male wearing a pink shirt and white pants. An armed black man wearing a white T-shirt, dark pants, and white athletic shoes pursues him.

The suspect is shown attempting to fire his weapon at the victim multiple times, but the victim is able to run away unharmed. The suspect then flees after his weapon appears to jam.

Video captured from another security camera appears to show the suspect fleeing in a black sedan with tinted windows, police said.

Residents of the neighborhood where the crime took place were reportedly “shocked” by the incident, according to KVVU-TV.

Local news reporter Joe Vigil spoke to the 80-year-old victim, who said that the gun wielded by the suspect belonged to him. It is unclear how the suspect obtained the victim’s firearm.

“Anyone who recognizes this suspect or has any information about this incident is urged to contact LVMPD Summerlin Area Command Investigations at 702-828-9455,” police said.

Police encouraged anyone who may wish to provide an anonymous tip to contact Crime Stoppers by telephone at 702-385-5555 or online at crimestoppersofnv.com.
