Rock Hill SC June 22 2209
An employee in Kmart’s loss prevention department who helped retrieve stolen merchandise Wednesday was attacked by the accused shoplifters’ friends that night, police reports said.
The employee was the complainant in a report that led to the arrests of Richard Allman and Andy Cook of Rock Hill and Kathleen Williams of York. They were charged with shoplifting. According to that report, the employee witnessed the shoplifting around 1:45 p.m. at the Cherry Road store in Rock Hill.
Around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, a coworker told the employee something was going on in the parking lot, Rock Hill police reported. The employee told police he noticed a black F-150 with darkly tinted windows, which someone rolled down to take his picture before it drove away.
Around 11 p.m. Wednesday, the second police report states that the employee went outside to smoke and another F-150 pulled up. This one was white with a painting of a wolf on its back window.
The three men in the truck “made reference to putting their friends in jail earlier” and attacked him, the police report stated. The employee was able to get to the sidewalk and run into the store, but police said he suffered a sprained right hand.
No surveillance video of the incident was available, but the employee told police the next morning, when he reported the attack, that he believed his coworker, the woman who sent him outside before his picture was taken, was involved.
All three men in the truck are unidentified, but the employee was able to describe two of them in detail. All three were about 20 years old, Hispanic men with black hair and brown eyes.
The driver of the white F-150 had closely cut hair and two tear drops tattooed under his right eye, the police report stated. He had the text “MS-13” tattooed under his left eye and again across his neck.
The second attacker wore a blue bandana and had “404” tattooed on his hand and “MS-13” tattooed across his upper chest.
The case remains under investigation.
