Monmouth County NJ Feb 28 2009
Police have arrested a Union Beach man who they say threw a store security guard to the ground when the worker tried to stop him from shoplifting.
Jason S. Connelly, 27, of Cambridge Avenue, was charged Wednesday with robbery and shoplifting.
Around 6:45 p.m., Connelly stole $60 worth of sneakers and $8 worth of socks from Kohl’s on Route 35, but when a security guard confronted him, he grabbed the guard, threw him to the ground and tried to punch him in the face, said Detective Sgt. Louis Torres. Connelly then stopped resisting and pleaded with the security guard to let him return the items, police said.
At that point, police arrived and Connelly was arrested by Sgt. Vincent Imperato.
Connelly was wanted on an outstanding Tinton Falls municipal court warrant.
