MILWAUKEE—A Milwaukee Army reservist says four muggers returned his belongings when they discovered his military identification.
The 21-year-old college student says he was walking home from work about 1:15 a.m. Tuesday when he was pulled into an alley and told to lay face down with a gun to his neck. Four men took his wallet, $16, keys and his cell phone.
But the reservist says when one of the men saw an Army ID in the wallet, he told the others to return items. He also apologized and thanked the reservist for serving.
The reservist says one robber gave him a quick fist bump before walking away.
The reservist asked not to be identified because the robbers still have his keys.
Milwaukee police spokeswoman Anne E. Schwartz says the story is credible. She says the suspects are being sought.
