Shoplifter arrested after hide and seek http://www.privateofficer.com
A 38-year-old local man accused of shoplifting from two area stores was arrested yesterday when police found him hiding in a culvert pipe after he ran from store security, police said.
Thomas E. Winant, of 44 Park St., walked out of the Sears at Solomon Pond Mall at 1:45 p.m., carrying a boombox that store security said he did not pay for, according to the police report on file at Marlborough District Court.
When confronted, Winant dropped the stereo and ran away, leaving his pickup truck parked at the Sears automotive area, according to the report.
Police had first been called to the area when a woman saw Winant walk out of the DSW Shoes store twice, each time pulling shoes out of his pants and putting them in his truck, police said.
As police spoke to the woman, they received a call from Sears reporting a shoplifting suspect on the run.
Marlborough Police Officer David Garceau later found Winant hiding in a culvert pipe, according to the report.
Inside Winant’s truck, police found three pairs of shoes and a car duster taken from the auto store, police said. Winant was arrested and charged with two counts of shoplifting and one count of shoplifting over $100 by concealing merchandise, police said.
He was arraigned yesterday in Marlborough District Court and released on his own recognizance by Judge Andrew D’Angelo. Winant is scheduled to appear in court again today for an appearance of counsel.

Security guard arrested for credit card fraud www.privateofficer.com
Security guard arrested for credit card fraud http://www.privateofficer.com
Bryan Price, 40, a security officer at School 33 on Union Street, has been held in the DeKalb County Jail in Georgia, charged with identity theft for allegedly distributing counterfeit credit cards, since he was arrested in Georgia on March 1, according to Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio
Price and his associates are suspected of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of fraudulent activity, including buying electronic equipment and cashing phony credit card checks, DeFazio said.
Price was previously arrested early last year in Cortland County, N.Y., and pleaded guilty to possessing 28 counterfeit credit cards, authorities said.
Once Price’s charges in Georgia are resolved, he will be brought to Hudson County and held on $200,000 bail, DeFazio said. He could face up to 10 years in state prison.
“He was alleged to be the leader of this conspiracy,” said DeFazio, adding that Price has an extensive criminal record.
School district spokesman Gerard Crisonino said that if Price, a “longtime employee,” is released, he would be transferred to a central office pending an investigation by the district’s human resources department.
The district only performs background checks when an employee is first hired, and relies on law enforcement officials to learn about any subsequent criminal convictions, Crisonino said.

Derick Berry, 52, was charged March 14 after being arrested at Brookwood Medical Center where his wife was a patient, Homewood police Sgt. Kent Baker said.
Baker said the victim, whose name is being withheld, awoke in her room around 3 a.m. and heard the sound of running water. When she asked her husband why he was filling the bathtub, Berry told her he was going to drown her, Baker said.
According to the police report Berry then tried to force the woman into the bathtub and under the water, Baker said. Nurses heard her screams and rushed to her room, he said.
“They called for help and were able to hold him back, while another hospital employee called the police.
Security officers also responded to the room and assisted detaining Berry until Homewood police arrived.Brookwood officials said their staff handled the incident well. “Floor staff responded immediately, followed very quickly by the hospital security, and within minutes by the Homewood Police Department,” said Debbie Hollenstein, hospital spokeswoman.
“We arrested Berry, and he was charged with attempted murder later that day.”
Baker said officers don’t know the motive for the attack.
Berry remains in custody at the Jefferson County Jail in Birmingham, jail officials said. He is being held with bond set at $60,000.
Berry is scheduled for a preliminary hearing April 3 before Jefferson County District Judge Sheldon Watkins, officials said.

Intoxicated shoplifter passes out at store www.privateofficer.com
Intoxicated shoplifter passes out at store http://www.privateofficer.com
But what they found was an intoxicated male sprawled out and passed out on the floor of the store with items he allegedly intended to steal stuffed down his pants and scattered on the floor around him.
Authorities say that they received a call from the Dollar General store and dispatched Officer Ronald Skelton was dispatched to the Park View Plaza on Park Boulevard Thursday night shortly after 8 p.m. in reference to a man lying unconscious on the floor.
Skelton stated in his report that he found the man slumped over between two aisles with merchandise scattered around him. Police say that they tried to awaken him but that he was severly incompasitated and almost non-responsive.
The merchandise that was alledgedly shoplifted was mainly household items, Skelton stated in his report. Between the items on the floor and those stuffed down his pants, the overall value was approximately $45.
Hugh Dustin Wolfe, 29, 730 Stroupe Court, Apt. 212, Church Hill, was arrested and is scheduled for arraignment April 9 in Hawkins County Sessions Court on charges including theft under $500 and possession of Schedule II narcotics.
Hawkins County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Scott Alley assisted Skelton at the scene, and the two officers were able to revive Wolfe.
A search of Wolfe revealed him to be in possession of several pills in an unmarked pill container and in a cigarette pack, police said. The pills were later determined to be Soma and Xanax.
Due to his high level of intoxication, Wolfe was initially taken to Hawkins County Memorial Hospital for observation before being booked into jail.

Mother goes on shoplifting spree with 3 children www.privateofficer.com
Mother goes on shoplifting spree with 3 children http://www.privateofficer.com
The incident began to unfold Monday at Sacramento’s Arden Fair Mall on Monday.
“It initially started out with a complaint about a dog in a car with its windows rolled up,” Reed said. “It was a large dog and appeared to be over-heating.”
The dog was released from the car by animal control officials, but the real crime drama then began to unfold. Soon a mother and three children approached the car as mall security officials watched.
“When we watched the people come out to the car, we noticed that loss prevention was following closely behind,” Reed said.
The mother, 41-year-old Christine Brown, was walking to the car with her daughters 5, 9 and 10 years old in tow.
They had been shopping at a Sears store inside the mall when they got the attention of undercover security guards.
“She had allegedly taken numerous items and that she had actually placed some of the items on the children,” Reed said.
When police arrived on the scene, the extent of Brown’s alleged crime became apparent.
“She took about $375 worth of merchandise,” said Sacramento police Sgt. Lai Bui. “She put the clothing on the children hoping they would be able to walk out of the store with the clothing on.”
Brown remained in custody on Wednesday and her three children in protective custody.
“It is disappointing to see parents treating their children this way — putting their children in danger just for an article of clothing.” Bui said.
Reed called the alleged crime “heartbreaking.”
“It’s heartbreaking because if is not sending the right message to children,” Reed said.
Brown — who has been arrested on theft charged before — was being held on potential theft and child endangerment charges. Two Charleston police officers are set to go to trial in Putnam County on charges they shot a deer from inside their vehicle.
Patrolman Conrad M. Carpenter and Cpl. James E. White Jr. are charged with spotlighting, hunting from an automobile, shooting within 500 feet of a dwelling, possession of wildlife parts and conspiracy.
According to a criminal complaint, White and Carpenter were driving on W.Va. 34 near Liberty to visit a friend on Dec. 5 when they spotted three deer crossing the road. One of the deer appeared to be injured, the officers told Cpl. Gary Amick, a conservation officer with the state Division of Natural Resources.
According to Amick’s complaint, Carpenter told White to stop the car so he could shoot the injured animal. White allegedly shone a light on the deer so that Carpenter could hang out the window and shoot it with a .40-caliber handgun, Amick said.
“The defendant and Mr. White did not want the deer to ‘go to waste,’ so they decided to wait around in the area for a few minutes to allow the deer to die, then they would come back and pick up the deer,” Amick wrote in the complaint.
White and Carpenter apparently took the deer with them, but neighbors witnessed the shooting and reported the incident to Amick the next day.
Neighbors took down the license number of the car, which was traced to White, the report said.
The trial, which will be in Putnam County Magistrate Court, was set following a preliminary hearing last week.
Carpenter and White have been on administrative leave since the incident, said Charleston Police Chief Brent Webster.

Some need security protection at funerals www.privateofficer.com
Some need security protection at funerals http://www.privateofficer.com
Did you ever think that you would need an invitation to attend a loved one’s funeral?
Some Cincinnati funeral home directors said it may come to exactly that. They said it may be the only was to protect you and your family from a recent trend of violence during local funerals.
The funeral directors said the violence on the streets often spills over into the funeral service where suspects may show up to harass the family.
Now they are having to fight back by hiring private security officers.
Many people will admit they get a little jittery around funeral homes.
However, Clarence E.H. Glover, the owner of House of Glover Funeral Service in Avondale, said it’s the people that are living that can make his job nerve wracking.
“A couple of men got out of line, out of the funeral procession and started doing this “S” pattern,” Glover recalled about a recent episode of violence at a funeral.
“You almost felt like you were at the OK Corral because they started shooting. Whether they were shooting at each other, we couldn’t tell,” Glover said.
Glover said he called police and the shooters were arrested.
In January, several people were arrested when shots were fired as a funeral procession for a murder victim entered Vine Street Hill Cemetery.
Police were also called to a funeral in the West End last year after an argument started inside a church.
Funeral home directors said they’re having to take extra measures to protect grieving families, especially mourners of victims of violent crimes or gang members.
There are several cameras strategically placed around the Glover Funeral Home on Reading Road including in the chapel. And when you step out into the hallway, there’s one that is facing the front door.
“We just need to be aggressive in taking care of security for ourselves, our employees and the families that we serve most important of all,” Glover said.
Joseph Garr runs Garr Funeral Service in the West End and Donald and Stewart Funeral Home in North Avondale. Garr said he has resorted to carrying a concealed weapon because of the violence.
“It’s gotten so bad, in our association that we’ve talked about private funerals. Have a security guard at the door and if you don’t have an invitation, you don’t get in, but it still causes them to congregate outside,” Garr explained.
Another option families have is to delay the burial for several days after the funeral. This keeps the burial limited to immediate family members.
As a last attempt to avoid funeral violence, some families are choosing not to publish details of the funeral in the obituary in the newspaper.

Nye County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to the Terrible’s Town Casino at 11 p.m. where they met with the 63-year-old victim of an attempted robbery, who they identified as Caroline Smith.
Smith told deputies she while was in a bathroom stall using the toilet, she saw an arm reach under the door and grab the strap of her purse which had been lying on the floor next to the stall wall.
Smith said that she was not going to let her purse get stolen right in front of hers without putting up a fight for what was hers. She said that she grabbed the strap and reportedly said that a minute-long struggle ensued during which she yelled for the robber to let go.
The woman on the other side of the stall did give up and quickly exited the restroom.
After collecting herself and exiting the stall, Smith reportedly saw the woman again on the casino floor (who was identified by deputies from previous encounters with law enforcement) and pointed the would-be thief out to casino security.
The casino security kept an eye on the suspect while the sheriff’s department were notified and dispatched.
Patty Sue McGraw, 41, was arrested for attempted robbery .
McGraw was placed in handcuffs before being transported to the detention center, according to the sheriff’s office press release.
McGraw was booked on attempted robbery on March 19 and her bail was set at $10,000.

School officers train for their duties www.privateofficer.com
School officers train for their duties www.privateofficer.com
Robert Laird, director of the division of school safety in the Mississippi Department of Education, said the once-a-year class trains the officers in last-resort control techniques for disturbances.
“There was a lot of pressure after Pearl to put an SSO (school safety officer) or SRO (school resource officer) in every school,” Laird said.
In 1997, Pearl High student Luke Woodham first murdered his mother and then drove to school and killed his ex-girlfriend and her friend. He wounded seven others.
The number of trained security personnel is markedly increased over even a decade ago, when Mississippi had 14 school resource officers and no school safety officers. But Laird said educators and communities really need to make that kind of decision school by school, based on what they think will be most effective.
Mississippi has 378 school resource officers – sworn police officers trained to work in schools – and 317 school security officers. There are other security guards employed by schools, but the state doesn’t certify them and therefore takes no responsibility for how they respond to school incidents.
With the “transport holds” she learned, Chellie Brinson took control a much larger Joseph Daughtry Sr., a police officer. Pair by pair, the school safety officers in the class practiced on each other, sometimes concentrating hard to get the positioning right. Other times, they laughed at their first awkward attempts. But as they learned each new hold, they gained confidence and competence, Laird said.
People who work in school security don’t have to get the class certification, but it can help. They learn laws about what they can and can’t do, get pepper sprayed so they know what it feels like if it ever happens on the job, learn about what to do if the school has a bomb threat and learn restraint techniques.
In late 2006, a Greenwood police officer pulled a gun on an unarmed student after the two got into an altercation. Laird said that officer had not gone through the state’s training, so the state could not help that district.
Laird, who jokingly called himself “the top kindergarten cop in the state,” said those who are trained are special because they are the only members of the education profession who take an oath of office and have a code of ethics. They are the first ones on the scene of a school emergency and know the students better than all other emergency responders.
“These people will track a kid through school. … They see the end result, good or bad,” Laird said. “People want to know if their kids are safe at school.”
Frank Brown, a school safety officer in the Greenville Public School District, said he liked learning how to get better control of students if he needs to.
But one of the most helpful things they did, he said, was take CPR earlier in the week. One of his students has seizures, and now he knows how to handle it when that happens.
He watched others to see how they reacted to the pepper spray.
“I don’t want to comment on that,” Brown said, laughing. “If I gotta get sprayed, I gotta get sprayed. It’s going to burn, I know that.”

Hospital security injured during fight http://www.privateofficer.com
By:Bryan Hill
Security News Magazine
Police say the patient, identified as Morris J. Carter, 36, of the 200 block of south Court Avenue in York had been brought into the emergency room by another undisclosed law enforcement agency and that sometime soon thereafter, he became involved in a struggle that left three security officers injured.
Security officers William Kerr, 41, Robert Clancy, 54, and Christopher Vandermark, 27, were not seriously injured during the fracas police said but did receive treatment for various injuries at the emergency department.
Meanwhile Carter now faces multiple charges of assault and possibly disorderly conduct or other charges.
Police did not say why Carter had been brought to the hospital originally or if he was already under arrest at the time of his arrival but an officer said he thought a security officer was watching over him for some reason when the fight began.

A woman who walked into a health services building with a weapon at the University of Louisville was disarmed by University Police and set off a chain of events on Thursday.
School spokeswoman Cindy Hess says university police arrived seven minutes after receiving a call and found a hostage situation. Hess says she doesn’t know how many people were taken hostage, but there were no injuries.
Hess says the woman was disarmed shortly after police arrived.
An initial posting on the school’s Web site described the person as a student, but Hess said she couldn’t confirm that.
The university sent safety alerts to student phones, cell phones and posted one on its Web site. Hess says the campus was not locked down.
But now the mother of two finds herself facing even more serious charges as police say that she is suspected of killing her own children.
Louisville Police say that Gail L. Coontz, 37 shot her two children while they slept and then went to the University of Louisville with the gun and took people hostage.
Neighbors said they’re more accustomed to seeing kids playing in the street than they are crime scene investigators pounding the pavement.
“When I seen them putting the tape up, my heart kind of sank,” said neighbor Sheryl Hayden.
Hayden said that when she saw the police outside 4709 Settle Boulevard, she knew something was terribly wrong inside her next door neighbor’s home.
Metro Police say that officers arrived about 9:20 a.m. after campus police called LPD to make a welfare check on two children living there.
University police said that Coontz had walked into a building seeking a counselor Thursday and held someone hostage and made a remark about her children’s well-being.
“Officers did make entry when they arrived and unfortunately, discovered the bodies of two children who had been the victims of multiple gunshot wounds,” said Metro Police Detective Phil Russell.
“It makes me sick,” said Patty Schneider, who was good friends with the family. “The kids were good kids. I have teenagers like her son. It’s just hard.”
She said Coontz was a widower with two children — a boy and a girl. She had recently gone back to school to get her degree.

Security officer arrested in robbery scheme www.privateofficer.com
Security officer arrested in robbery scheme http://www.privateofficer.com
Freddie Green, 26, was arrested just after midnight Tuesday on charges of armed robbery and making false statements and concealing facts in connection with the robbery that took place at the Dawson Road Shoe Station, according to jail records. He was still being held in the jail as of Wednesday evening, a jailer said.
Green initially told police officers on Monday night that a man was waiting and dropped from the ceiling in the men’s restroom and bashed him in the head with a shotgun before forcing him to the manager’s office, which was locked from the inside because manager Ta’Tanisha Turner was inside counting money.
Turner told police she opened the door after hearing a crash and Green yelling and found another man pointing a shotgun at her. The shotgun-wielding robber then tied the two up in the manager’s office, Turner told police.
Police noted during their initial investigation that where Green had crashed through the ceiling tiles from climbing through the ceiling to get out of the manager’s office, but there were no disturbed tiles in the store’s restrooms. Police also noted that there was no visible forced entry from the store’s roof.
There may be additional arrests in the case, Albany Police Department spokesperson Phyllis Banks-Whitley said.
The robbers made off with cash, according to a police report.
Any one with information pertaining to the case can call (229) 436-TIPS.
Lee County and Albany police officials say there hasn’t been an unusual trend developing in “internal” thefts or robberies.
In late February, a Chili’s employee told police he was robbed and beaten by six men in the parking lot of the store, but later confessed to police he made the story up and that a former Chili’s employee snatched about $60 from him as payment on a football wager.
“I mean, it happens. Employee theft, false reports are something that do happen from time to time, but this is the first one we’ve had in a while,” said Lee County Chief Deputy Dennis Parker. “It’s not a trend or a rash of them, but it is something that happens from time to time.”
Banks-Whitley said the APD had also not seen a particular increase in internal thefts or robberies.
Parker pointed out that employee theft typically makes up about 70 percent of a store’s losses.

Vice principal charged with sex assault of student www.privateofficer.com
Vice principal charged with sex assault of student http://www.privateofficer.com
Washington Post Staff Writer
On Monday, a county grand jury indicted Shadrick M. Woods, 40, on two counts of child abuse and two counts of third-degree sexual offense.
The student is a 6-year-old boy at Gaywood Elementary School, State’s Attorney Glenn F. Ivey(D) said in a statement. The abuse allegedly occurred at the school on four occasions between Dec. 1 and March 10, the statement says.
On March 10, Woods was moved to an administrative position in which he has no contact with children, said John White, a spokesman for the school system. White said Woods was transferred after school officials launched an internal investigation into his conduct.
White said he could not disclose the nature of the allegations because of privacy issues and because the investigation is ongoing. Woods was hired by the school district in the fall of 2006, White said.
A law enforcement source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case is ongoing, said Woods is accused of fondling the child in the main first-grade boys’ restroom.
In his office at the school, Woods had television monitors hooked up to school security cameras, the law enforcement source said. Police and prosecutors think some of the alleged molestation occurred after Woods saw the boy in a hallway, then accompanied him to the restroom, the source said.
In a statement, Ivey said: “Sexual abuse is a horrible crime, and even more so when it involves a very young child. . . . The grand jury’s decision to indict this defendant is the first step towards pursuing justice for the victim, the family and friends, and protection for other students who may have been victimized.”
Prosecutors asked anyone with information regarding other possible victims to contact county police.
Attempts were unsuccessful yesterday to identify an attorney for Woods or to locate a home number for him. Woods, who was released on a $50,000 bond, will be arraigned within 30 days, prosecutors said.
In December, Tawfik Adams, a former assistant principal at Bladensburg High School, was charged with second-degree child abuse and other crimes. He is accused of groping and sexually harassing two female students.
Adams, 31, is scheduled for trial May 19.
Nathaniel B. Thomas. a former member of the county school board, is scheduled for trial Wednesday on one count of third-degree sex offense. Thomas, 26, is accused of having sex several years ago with a 15-year-old student at Forestville Military Academy, where Thomas was a teacher.
Thomas resigned from the school board last year after the allegations surfaced.

Students charged after melee with weapons www.privateofficer.com
Students charged after melee with weapons http://www.privateofficer.com

Police say that officers responded to the Murphy High School Wednesday in response to students fighting with weapons. When they arrived they found that two students were wielding broomsticks Wednesday attacked a Murphy High School teacher who was trying to break up a fight, Mobile police said. District Attorney John Tyson Jr. identified the two as the sisters of a former Murphy student who allegedly videotaped the beating of another teacher a year ago.
Eleventh-grade twins Dykesha and Dynesha Harris, 17, were arrested and charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct, police spokesman Officer Eric Gallichant said.
They are set for a bond hearing this morning before the same judge who is handling two criminal cases against their brother.
Two younger girls involved in the fight — ages 14 and 16 — were taken to Strickland Youth Center and charged as juveniles. They are scheduled for a 1 p.m. hearing today at Strickland, according to Tyson.
Police officers were called to the Midtown school about 7 a.m. Wednesday. School staff members reported that a disagreement
between the twins and the two younger girls erupted into a battle near the art building.
The twins armed themselves with broomsticks, according to police, while one of the younger girls brandished a glass perfume bottle and the other used a ceramic piggy bank as a weapon.
Tyson said the brooms belonged to the school’s cleaning crew and one of the sticks may have had a scraping tool at the end of it.
“It was what was handy, right then and there,” said Tyson, who serves as Mobile County’s chief prosecutor.
Paramedics treated the teacher and three of the girls at the scene for minor injuries, Gallichant said. One girl had a head laceration and the teacher’s elbow was injured, said Marcie McNeal, a school system spokeswoman.
All four students were suspended, McNeal said.
The 14-year-old faces a second-degree assault charge and the 16-year-old is accused of third-degree assault, Gallichant said. Both also face disorderly conduct charges, he said.
Last year, Murphy Principal Doug Estle wanted the Harris twins to transfer to other schools after their brother, Dominick Harris, was accused of videotaping an attack on a 61-year-old English teacher in May.
According to police, Harris used a cell phone camera to record another student ambushing the teacher outside her classroom and striking her with a powerful punch to her face.
Estle could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
City Councilman Fred Richardson helped the twins’ mother get the girls back into Murphy. Richardson also sought unsuccessfully to intervene on behalf of Dominick Harris, who was expelled after the teacher assault.
Richardson declined to comment Wednesday.
Dominick Harris has been accused in another crime since the teacher assault last year. He remained jailed Wednesday on allegations of involvement in a March 11 drive-by shooting on Glenn Avenue.
Harris had accepted a deal to plead guilty to being a youthful offender in the Murphy case, which could have resulted in a probation-only sentence.
But when he was arrested again, Presiding Mobile County Circuit Judge Charles Graddick ruled that Harris would no longer be guaranteed a probation-only sentence.
If convicted, he could get up to three years of incarceration, although his record would be sealed. His trial is set for May 28 in Circuit Court.

Former police officer wanted for carjacking www.privateofficer.com
Officers said 62-year-old James Dale Ambuehl approached a woman while she was parked, pushed her over into the passenger’s seat, drove to a nearby bank and then forced her with a knife to withdraw thousands of dollars from her account.
The woman said the man left her at the bank and then drove back to the YMCA, parked the vehicle and drove off in his getaway car. The woman was not hurt in the incident.
think it can happen just about anywhere. And, you know, you just always have to be on guard. You can’t ever let your guard down,” said YMCA member Laura Sowa.
The YMCA uses surveillance cameras in its parking lot and is also considering hiring a guard to patrol. The cameras are how police were able to identify Ambuehl’s car.
“We are looking at ways we can be more vigilant in making sure we’re safe and secure in our parking lots,” said a YMCA representative.
Authorities said Ambuehl has gray hair and has a large build and was wearing a plaid shirt and a black-rimmed hat at the time. Police said he was driving a tan four-door Buick Park Avenue with Minnesota tags THH 657. Ambuehl is believed to be out of the state now, police said.
“Although he doesn’t have an active or criminal history that would indicate that he has a violent history, we understand through our investigation that he is potentially dangerous,” said Brentwood Police Capt. Jeff Hughes.
Ambuehl was a police officer in Minnesota in the 1970s. He is thought to be armed and dangerous, police said.

Father and son arrested for burglaries www.privateofficer.com
Father and son arrested for burglaries http://www.privateofficer.com
Investigators say that their investigation led them to an unlikely crime duo who had been going out as a team, breaking into houses and robbing them and splitting the loot.
One thing about these people were they were always knocking the doors open the same way, and every place you went the door was open the same way,” said Bedford County Sheriff Randall Boyce.
Sheriff department officers say that the arrest came from good police work and a little luck after Brown was pulled over on Wednesday for a traffic stop.
“That is very unusual. You know, most dads would not want to see their son grow up doing the kind of things that they’re doing. So, in that kind of situation, that’s exactly what they were doing,” Boyce said.
James Brown has an arrest history, but his son has never been arrested.
Boyce said neither of the men worked, so they used stolen items to feed their expensive drug habit.

Security officer stabbed detaining shoplifter http://www.privateofficer.com
The 46-year-old guard, whose name was not released, was stabbed in the stomach and other parts of his body. He was in serious but stable condition Thursday at a local hospital and is expected to recover.
The suspect was identified by police as Leland Maes, 47, of Oakland.
Authorities said Maes has a criminal record dating back to 1978 and has at least five prior felony convictions, including three for robbery. He also has several misdemeanor convictions and has spent time in prison and jail and is currently on probation, authorities said.
Because of prior theft convictions, he has been ordered by a judge to stay away from at least one Oakland supermarket, authorities said.
The stabbing happened about 10:15 p.m. at the Walgreen’s store in the 3200 block of Foothill Boulevard.
Police said the guard confronted Maes when he saw him trying to conceal merchandise and Maes stabbed him several times.
Maes ran from the store chased by another employee who flagged down Officer Jason Lancaster who was responding to the scene.
The other employee pointed out the fleeing Maes who was arrested a few blocks away by Lancaster.
Maes refused to talk to investigators. He was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, attempted grand theft and violating probation. He is being held without bail.

Alert mall officer aids in burglary arrests http://www.privateofficer.com
Township police said they received a call at 7:19 a.m. Thursday from Crystal Brown, a security officer at the Route 1 mall, advising that through security cameras she was watching three people break into the Piercing Pagoda kiosk.
While individual stores are not open for business at that hour, the mall itself is open for use as an exercise venue by so-called “mall walkers,” police said.
Brown told police she had watched on the cameras as the suspects walked around different parts of the mall in what police believe was an effort to blend in with the exercise-seekers.
Lawrence officers, aided by West Windsor officers, quickly secured the mall’s exits. Two of the suspects — Dantay Robinson, 38, of Philadelphia and a 17-year-old male whose name was not released — were detained as they tried to leave by Officers Robert Loveless, Richard Laird, Ronald Buchanan and Thomas Everist, police said.
The final suspect, Jerome Faison, 39, of Philadelphia, was followed on the surveillance cameras by Brown and, after a brief foot chase, was arrested by Sgt. Timothy Drew and Detective Joseph Lech, police said.
Police said the trio had stolen about $470 worth of jewelry from the kiosk.
All three were charged with burglary, theft, and possession of burglary tools, police said, noting that Faison was also charged with resisting arrest and both he and Robinson were charged with employing a juvenile in the commission of a crime.
Lech and Officer Ed Budzinski are continuing the investigation.
