DAYTON, Ohio - A Dayton police officer was in the right place at the right time when he saw an attempted robbery taking place at the Salem Avenue Walgreeens.

Officer Joshua Campbell was there to pick up a surveillance tape of a robbery that took place at the store a few hours earlier.

When Officer Campbell walked in, he noticed Donald Cotten attempting to rob the clerk. Campbell tried to stop the robbery, holding the suspect at gunpoint.

Cotten refused to give up without a fight. He punched Officer Campbell several times, but with the help of a store employee, was eventually taken into custody

Cotten is now booked into the Montgomery County Jail.
