PRIVATE OFFICER NEWS
http://www.privateofficer.com/ Police responded to an armed robbery in progress at an area Goodwill store and learned that a shoplifter had pulled a butcher knife on a security officer.
At about 1:45 p.m. Monday, a customer headed for the door of Goodwill of Silicon Valley on El Camino Way with CDs stuffed in his jacket, Palo Alto police Sgt. Steve Herrera said. When a security officer confronted him, he allegedly pulled the 10 inch butcher knife.
The unarmed security officer convinced the man to leave peacefully, and avoided any further confrontation Herrera added. Then he dialed police and described the getaway car.
A few minutes later, a traffic officer spotted the vehicle at the corner of El Camino Real and Ventura Way and conducted a traffic stop which lead to the arrest of Jose Hernandez-Ramirez, 52-year-olds of Santa Clar.
He was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail in San Jose for armed robbery.
