 From the bottom of his combat boots to the top of his shaved head, 65-year-old Eugene Storley says he still dresses and feels like a U.S. Marine. 
 
 
 
 "They are going to bury me in these boots," he told us. "You know, I gotta protect the public." 
 
 
 
 And that's what he says he did on Monday, when an accused bank robber, disguised in a hard hat and dust mask, walked into a Wells Fargo bank on U.S. Highway 1 and pointed a gun at the bank teller who was next to Storley. 
 
 
 
 "You could see he was really scared. He was scared." 
 
 
 
 The suspect is described as 6 feet, 4 inches tall and weighs over 200 pounds. Eugene is about 5 feet, 7 inches tall and 190 pounds. The suspect was also armed, and Eugene was not. But that didn't stop him. 
 
 
 
 "I figured if he had to shoot me, he'd shoot me." 
 
 
 
 A bank surveillance photograph captured what happened next: Storley grabbed the gunman's arm. 
 
 
 
 "So I grabbed him like this here, came around him like this here, and he turned around and shoved me back," says Eugene. "He was gone, before I could jump on him again. He was like lightning." 
 
 
 
 Cocoa police say they quickly caught up to 43-year-old Edward Sotelo, the accused robber, in the woods across the street. While police were handcuffing the suspect, the bank teller was thanking Eugene for saving his life. 
 
 
 
 "As a matter of fact, the guy hugged me, and wouldn't let me go," says Eugene. 
 

– No matter how young and fit you are, odds are you're not as badass as Eugene Storley. The 65-year-old ex-Marine and ex-cop was in a bank Monday afternoon when a man came in wearing a hard hat and breathing mask and pointed a gun at the teller. "You gotta be kidding me," Storely grumbled, before stepping in, grabbing the would-be robber's arm, and grappling with him until the taller man fled empty-handed, Florida Today reports. "You know, I gotta protect the public," Storely tells Fox 35. He says he's "pretty well trained" and wasn't worried about the gun. "I figured if he had to shoot me, he'd shoot me." Local police soon caught up with the alleged robber, identified as 43-year-old Edward Sotelo. They're investigating whether he may have been the culprit in another crime committed by a similarly adorned suspect.
