radio personality Abby Rhodes survived a violent, armed robbery, but regrets
her bold actions after the thief put a gun to her head.
Police officials say a man surprised Rhodes
in a business' parking lot Monday just after 5 p.m.
Rhodes tells 27 News she
felt the man grab her purse, as she spoke to a friend on her cell phone. Even
after she saw the gun pointed at her, Rhodes
struggled with the man, falling to the ground, as the man eventually yanked the
purse out of her hand and took off.
"She started screaming," Rhodes'
friend Katie Sommers says. Sommers was on the other end of the cell phone call,
in Florida.
"It was horrible."

gun.
"I was very lucky that he chose not to use that gun,"
Rhodes says.
