A store security officer attempting to stop a shoplifter was seriously injured after the shoplifter stabbed him several times in the chest.
Bail was set Wednesday at $100,000 for the Schaumburg man accused of stealing three bottles of champagne from the northwest suburban discount store and then stabbing the loss prevention agent.
Police apprehended and arrested Bradley Kellett, 27, of the 600 block of Waterford Road, and he’s been charged with attempted murder, aggravated battery and retail theft, prosecutors said at a hearing in the Rolling Meadows branch of Cook County Circuit Court.
Kellett took the champagne Tuesday evening from a Meijer store in Rolling Meadows, placed the bottles under his clothing and left without paying, Assistant State’s Atty. Matt Fakhoury said.
The security officer was stabbed in the chest when he tried to stop Kellett outside the store, Fakhoury said.
The officer was reported in stable condition at Northwest Community Hospital in Arlington Heights with a collapsed lung, authorities said.
Fakhoury said the value of the champagne was less than $150.
