VIDEO: Unfazed Bar Patron Lights Up Cigarette In Missouri Bar During An Armed Robbery

A regular patron at a Missouri bar seemed unfazed during an armed robbery that was caught on security cameras.

The robbery occurred on Wednesday at Behrmann's Tavern in St. Louis, where local resident Tony Tovar was a regular patron. Tovar was sitting at the bar when a gunman walked in and pulled out his gun, ordering everyone to the ground and demanding their phones and cash. While some people managed to hide or flee, Tovar did not move from his bar seat. And despite the robber putting his gun up to Tovar, he remained in his seat, seemingly unfazed.

Shortly after the incident, security footage of the robbery began appearing online.

“I said not another punk trying to pull a punk move,” Tovar told NBC-affiliate KSDK. “I’m so tired of people in South City thinking they can control people because they wanna muscle their way in with firearms or attitudes or some sort of aggression.”

The video also showed the robber attempting to take away Tovar’s phone out of his hand. Tovar, instead, resisted the robber’s attempts to take his phone away by gripping tighter on the phone, eventually forcing him to relent.

And as the robber moved behind the bar to dig through the register, Tovar took the chance to light up a cigarette.

“I wasn't really concerned. I just had a really good feeling he wasn't out to harm anybody, he just wanted drug money,” Tovar said.

St. Louis Police has not been able to identify the suspect, but did reveal no one was injured during the robbery. It is also only the second robbery in Behrmann’s Tavern history since the bar opened in the 1930s.
