Today's TMJ4
MILWAUKEE - Kyle Windorski is proud of his service in the U.S. Army Reserves. Still, the 21-year-old Milwaukee resident had no idea his service would earn the respect of armed robbers on the east side.
Early Tuesday morning he learned how helpful a military ID can be when dealing with armed robbers.
Kyle was walking home from his job as a UWM shuttle driver when he was confronted by four men on Oakland Avenue. One of those men was brandishing a Beretta.
At gunpoint, the men pulled Kyle into an alley. There, they relieved him of his wallet, cell phone and even the wrapper to a Power Bar.
"Upon going through my wallet, they found my military ID which stopped them dead in their tracks," Kyle said during a brief stop on his UWM route.
"What I presume to be the leader of the group said 'we can't do this, we gotta give him his stuff back.'"
At that point, the robbers gave him all his stuff back. "Actually handed my wallet back to me," Kyle said with a slight smile. "He actually apologized for the whole situation."
The bizarre encounter didn't end there.
"One of the individuals came back and gave me a fist bump on their way out and said, 'Thank you for what you do.'"
Kyle is a low-key young man, unfazed by what happened.
"It was an interesting experience, to say the least," he said dryly.
