Celik said the suspect took a minimal amount of cash, but the damage will cost him hundreds of dollars.

“Trotwood needs to know, this is not going to be easy, it’s not easy. This man, mask and gloves comes here, takes money, that’s not fair, that’s not fair.  I’m angry, really angry, 6 times, maybe 7 times,” Celik told News Center 7’s Mike Campbell.

Broadway Cafe has been targeted several times, including in 2016 when Celik was shot after confronting robbers.
