The man began to struggle with the person holding the gun and was able to knock the weapon away. He was also able to pull the bandana off. That's when he discovered the person behind the mask was his son, Shaun Logsdon, 25, of Louisville. With his identity revealed, Logsdon tried to tell his father that he and the unnamed co-defendant were "just kidding.'

Both men fled before police arrived. Officers arrested Logsdon early Jan. 7 at his home in the Portland neighborhood.

Logsdon is being held at Louisville Metro Corrections on one count of robbery. He will be arraigned Jan. 8.
