Man Detained By Concord Police – photo credit: “Friend of Ross”
Concord Police detained a man just after 7 p.m. on Sunday at the Ross clothing store, located on Ygnacio Valley Rd. in Concord.
The man, who appeared to be in his 40s, was allegedly stuffing a grocery bag full of clothes, and employees say he had an open switchblade type knife in his hands while he was walking around the store.
Police were called and quickly detained the suspect. No injuries were reported.
SHOPLIFTING WITH A WEAPON?
Why bother carrying a weapon?
Ever closer to home. I take very little comfort in hearing the piece of sh*t was detained. No disrespect to the police officers. Unfortunately we all know how this is going to proceed. When society ends, it ends fast, and the decay is becoming palpable. Our only recourse is to protect and defend ourselves. Shall we then?
Duh that’s why we have 2nd amendment protection. No matter what the democrats try to say.
What’s the point? This has been going on for several years now (with the exception of brandishing a knife). He didn’t hurt anyone.
Yeah he was just carrying a knife to cut off those pesky price tags….. the cops should let him go….
and Apologize !
So stealing isn’t wrong if you don’t hurt anybody? Sorry we should be aggressively prosecuting individuals like this instead of people merely shrugging their shoulders with the pathetic attitude of “why trip he didn’t hurt anybody” It’s attitudes like this that are clearly part of the problem.
I agree with you 100% society today is being part of the problem it is a drag that inflation has hit and the government has taken so much from all of us and a lot of us having a hard time and nobody understands well don’t forget what you came from okay we are all one paycheck away from being homeless and on the streets with nothing with not a way to sew how dare you be rude not you people need to not it should be a little more understanding of what’s going on in the world and it’s not everybody’s fault and it sucks angels on your shoulders we all need them
Robbery….hoping he was booked for it.
Many years ago growing up in the area guy would be tossed in jail and if convicted spent time in jail.
.
These days guy is probably already known to Police and maybe already on parole or probation. An if he’s not already out of jail may well be by Tuesday.
.
Isn’t it wonderful what they’re {liberals) are doing to CA . . . back in the 60s criminals were actually afraid of incarceration. Today DEMs can’t let them out fast enough.
.
These days jails might as well have revolving doors installed.
Sam,
Yours was a coherent, well thought out reply. Thank you.
Pugsly,
We already have to. And I’m not just speaking about weaponry defense.
In the current state of California, if you brandish a lethal weapon and shoplift a retail store, you are detained, not arrested.This guy should do some time, but instead, will be issued a notice to appear. And on and on…….
it says he was “Detained” not Arrested… Two different things…
DEtained? thank you LE – but was he arrested for brandishing? .. and to others’ point – why even bother with a knife – that’s what got him in trouble, stealing is ok under Becton, Bonta, and Newsom
Stop knife violence now!!!
Since he didn’t exit the store he can’t be charged with shoplifting even if the items were concealed. Hopefully he’ll at least be charged for brandishing a weapon….but who knows?
I feel safer and safer with every passing day. Where is this mans shame?
