Corpus Christi TX Aug 21 2008
Employees at a J.C. Penney Co. store say they wrestled with a would-be shirt thief holding a knife after confronting the man Saturday afternoon.
A witness told police that after loss prevention managers confronted Antonio Rodriguez, 26, outside the store in the 5000 block of South Padre Island Drive, he pulled out a knife and confronted one of the employees.
The managers wrestled with Rodriguez, got the knife away and dragged him back into the store where they held him until police arrived, a police brief said.
Rodriguez was arrested at the store by Corpus Christi police and is being held at the Nueces County Jail on suspicion of aggravated robbery with a $25,000 bond.
Rodriguez also is being held on a bond of $5,000 for suspicion of criminal mischief in Aransas County and $5,000 for bail-jumping in Aransas County, according to an employee at Nueces County Jail.
