A suspect who tried to rob a taco stand at gunpoint in south Sacramento but was taken down by employees was also booked into jail in connection with a robbery at Chando's Tacos last year, police said.

Employees of the taco stand wrestled the man to the ground and knocked the gun loose. They held him down until Sacramento Police officers and Sacramento County deputies arrived to take McGrath into custody, the sheriff’s office said.
