Madison WI Jan 26 2012 Two shoplifting suspects who allegedly fled a department store after one punched a security guard were chased out of the west side mall and arrested by police several blocks away.
Deshana Graham-Golden, 17, Madison, was arrested for battery and retail theft and a 15-year-old male from Madison was cited for retail theft, according to a Madison police news release.
The two allegedly took merchandise from Sears at West Towne Mall at about 1:30 p.m. Monday.
“The loss prevention officer (store security) at Sears, a 31-year-old woman from Madison, was punched in the face as she tried to stop two shoplifters Monday afternoon,” said police spokesman Joel DeSpain.
The two suspects fled the store allegedly with stolen clothing, with the victim and a second store employee chasing after them.
“After the victim was punched, the two suspects took off across the West Towne Mall parking lot while still being pursued,” DeSpain said.
Police found the two suspects near South Gammon Road and Seybold Road and made arrests.
“Some of the stolen merchandise was recovered,” DeSpain said.
