Arrests — Sept. 27. A shoplifting suspect who was caught after fleeing to another store was caught and jailed. In the search, police also found and arrested a man wanted on an outstanding warrant. Various Sherman police officers made separate reports. It started when Walmart store personnel confronted a man who left the store with merchandise he had been seen gathering but for which he did not make payment.

Outside the store, loss-prevention officers attempted to stop him, and he pushed one of them against the wall. He then ran across U.S. 75 with the property and was caught inside the bathroom of a retail store on the east side of the highway. Police arrested the suspect, age 21, on an enhanced theft charge of robbery, and also on an outstanding warrant charging him with possession of marijuana.

Bail was set at a total of $17,000 and he remains incarcerated.

While searching for him, and on information that he might be at a nearby convenience store, another officer reported he found a man at that store who matched the description given. He detained him and, following protocol, searched him. He found marijuana on this second man, and then determined there was a warrant in place charging him with driving a vehicle which had an invalid inspection sticker on it. That suspect, age 28, was jailed on a charge of possession of marijuana and the warrant and as of later Wednesday, he, too, remained incarcerated in lieu of $1,710 cash bond and bail.
