The following was obtained from a Fairlawn police report dated Feb. 25. It does not indicate a conviction.
On Feb. 25 at 6:30 p.m., a Macy's clerk watched a suspected thief walk out of the men's fitting room with one pair of jeans after walking in with two. The clerk quickly canvassed the fitting room, finding only a torn off price tag, according to the Fairlawn police report. As the man tried to leave the store, she confronted him, and, during a brief struggle, he reportedly punched her in the chest. He then fled to the parking lot and sped off in a red Kia Spectra. Five Fairlawn police cruisers were dispatched to the scene, but were unable to locate the man. The incident is under investigation.
