Subway worker suspended after defending herself in armed robbery

A Subway worker bravely defended herself while getting robbed at gunpoint — even successfully disarming the dude and getting him to leave … and all she got was suspended.

The woman’s name is Araceli Sotelo, and she was working at a Rockford, IL Subway location last weekend when a guy brazenly entered and flashed a gun at her, demanding she give him the money on hand in the store … an encounter that was partially caught on video.
