http://www.privateofficer.com/ Two Target loss prevention agents were assaulted when they stopped a shoplifter. Both security officers suffered minor injuries during the incident on Monday after a shoplifter went berserk and tried to choke them, police said.
Police said that the suspect, thirty seven year-old Steve Fumando was subdued and has been arrested on several charges after the 5:30 p.m. incident, in which the Great Kills man allegedly “went crazy” after being caught trying to steal a Blu-Ray DVD player.
When security stopped Fumando, he allegedly began fighting and punching the security officers. He is now charged with misdemeanor assault, harassment, and petit larceny, and is jailed in lieu of $1,500 bail.
Kimberly Bethie, one of the loss prevention agents said that the 6-foot, 220-pound Fumando tried to choke her during the assault.
Both security agents received minor injuries during the incident.
