A man is accused of stealing two rolls of duct tape, an exercise ball, two Sony DVD players, three T-shirts, a Santa skirt and a set of pool balls, complete with the rack, from the Kmart in Mentor.
Then, he punched the security guard who tried to stop him, Mentor Police Lt. Tom Powers said.
Marcus W. Gibson, 24, of 350 Willow Drive in Painesville Township, was arraigned on a charge of robbery Monday in Mentor Municipal Court.
The theft occurred Oct. 27, Powers said, but Gibson escaped after he struck the Kmart security guard. Gibson was arrested Saturday.
The security guard had his glasses broken and a cut above his eye but was not seriously hurt, Powers said.
Judge John Trebets set Gibson’s bond at $100,000, which has not been posted. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Thursday.
If convicted of robbery, Gibson could face between one and five years in prison.
