Prosecutors with the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office announced Tuesday that they will not pursue charges against two Stockton 7-Eleven employees who were seen in a viral video assaulting a robbery suspect with a stick.
“The Stockton 7-11 Store Clerks are not and have never been suspects of the San Joaquin County District Attorney’s Office,” San Joaquin County District Attorney Ron Freitas said in a statement. “Any investigation going forward is to hold accountable the individual who threatened and attempted to rob them.”
Police received reports at 3:41 a.m. on July 28 from a 7-Eleven employee that a suspect had entered the business, went behind the counter, and threatened to shoot the employee if he intervened.
The 7-Eleven is located on South Center Street across from the Stockton Police Department headquarters.
The suspect, identified by police as 42-year-old Tyrone Frazier, took several packs of cigarettes and other items and placed them in a large garbage bag before fleeing.
The next day, July 29, Frazier allegedly returned to the store for another robbery.
At 12:27 a.m. an employee reported to police that the same suspect had entered the business and demanded money. He allegedly had a handgun.
The employee did not comply with the requests, Frazier allegedly grabbed several food items and placed them in a garbage bag before leaving the store.
During each theft, police said they arrived two minutes after receiving the reports, but the suspect was gone by the time officers got there.
Police said a third robbery occurred, but it was not reported to police. That robbery was caught in the viral video.
In the video, a man believed to be Frazier is seen wearing a blue face covering, pushing around a trash can while allegedly throwing countless items into the can.
A minute into the video, when the suspect begins to push the can away, a clerk is seen trying to stop him while another employee grabs a stick and beats the robber.
Repeatedly, the worker with stick hits the man while the other worker holds him down.
“Ok! Ok!” yelled the robber between hits.
The person who recorded the video eventually can be heard telling the employees to let the suspect go.
Officers at 3:05 a.m. on July 29 met with Stockton firefighters at or near South Center and East Market streets to help a man asking for medical aid and who complained about pain to his leg and shoulder.
The man allegedly told authorities he didn’t know if he had been assaulted.
He was taken to a hospital for treatment and at the time police said they couldn’t confirm whether the man was the suspect in the string of robberies or a victim of an assault.
Police on Aug. 3 linked the suspect in the viral video with the man who had called for help from firefighters.
Frazier was ultimately detained on Aug. 7 in connection with vandalism and the 7-Eleven robberies.
So it looks like criminals caught in the act can be beaten! Yea! Good to know!
Ok store owners and employees it’s now open season on criminals caught in the act, you can beat them jtill they cry in pain just don’t kill them.
I’m liking this 100%.
I do say GOOD !
But if this were Alameda County, Contra Costa County, Los Angeles County; I fear the story would read different.
Read a story the other day where a shoplifter was being arrested and his comment to the deputy was to the effect that he did not think he was in that county, but though he was in another where they don’t arrest…. Bad Guy said: “OPPS!”
I support this movement.
Good! shouldn’t even be a question….. Safeway, CVS, Walgreen’s, Kohls – are you listening?
@Domo
Dick’s, TJMaxx, Ross, Burlington, Target, Walmart, Ulta, Sephora, Broadway Plaza, Gap, jewelry stores, banks, cellphone stores, Best Buy, Apple,…
No stores like theft, no sales associate is okay with people stealing right in front of them. However, most sales associates is not trained to do much. I do know many stores have undercover security, and they often catch someone.
About time common sense prevails.
Well I think the common sense in the Valley is a lot more common. Here in the Bay Area I think they would be prosecuting them, in our perverse upside down system
That is because our district attorney is Soros backed and everyone should know what that mean?!
So many people in society make excuses for these types of people, these type of people have assaulted my mother, they’ve stolen from me, they’ve killed my co workers, all of this and people still make woke excuses for them, I’m glad justice has come for this person
they will not pursue charges against two Stockton 7-Eleven employees, …. Good!
First off, WONDERFUL NEWS ! ! !
Second would same outcome be true here in CoCo county ?
Criminal activity in CA has reached an unacceptable level.
Voting out soft on crime DEMs needs to happen.
Don’t lie, cheat or steal … simple law of life on planet Urth …
.
The employees who beat the robber should be commended… by the CEO of 7-Eleven, sheriff, district attorney, CA attorney general, and CA governor.
.
Fight crime, fight back!!
Damn right!
I love a feel good movie.
He got what he deserved I don’t feel sorry for him at all.This needs to happen a lot more.Do the crime and suffer the consequences!Good for the employees.
If a store is owned by big money a crooked lawyer would go after them. These two guys are not out of the woods yet because some charlatan lawyer is thinking about it right now. Sad as that may be. Some of us may end up helping their defence fund
.
Crooked lawyer?
.
I bet “civil rights” attorney and race-baiter John Burris is reviewing this robbery to see how facts can be spun to benefit the robber and turned against the 7-Eleven employees.
.
When your time spent playing wack-a- mole finally pays off !
Great to see a little street justice being so effectively administered. KUDOS!!
It’s one way to get the current trend to slow. How about some vigilante groups that go to your favorite stores, when you see the employees calling out a thief, couple of you just go and beat the pulp out of ’em for a while and then just leave the store.
Hopefully, the robber who is pure garbage, limps the rest of his life so he can remember what he did with each step. Good for the store owners!!
Bring back mob justice.
Robber found himself in a sticky situation
Absolutely agree, person of the year

Great video. But the Selma, Al brawl video is way better! Good ole boys tried it in the small town and the black didn’t back down.
It was Montgomery, not Selma. Not a small town by Alabama standards. And yes, those slack-jawed hillbillies got a well deserved ass-kicking.
They don’t need to back down, they are all down and always will be. The tide is going back the other way now that BLM and the such have been proven a farce.
In this case, you go looking for touble you’ll find it. Good.
Store employees may not be able to stop a theft but citizens can. And I do. I’ve tripped criminals on the way out of stores. And reported license plates of fleeing thieves. The real trick is getting police who didn’t witness the crime to care.
Funny I didn’t see assault at all! I saw a waste of skin robbing a hard working man & the hard working man had to defend his lively hood & the waste of skin got exactly what was coming to him.
The groups’ thought on Ashley Babbit and Jacob Chansley?
I’m guessing they both would have preferred being beaten by a stick to what they got.
Another fine illustration of the fact that not all violence is bad.
Life is getting scary. Some lawyers are out for money and fame. If you keep getting away with being a criminal you will always be a criminal. It seems our new generation, kids, are seeing this for a fact. What will happen to them in 15 years??? Will lawless ever go away due to “defunding the police”. Some criminals don’t have a conscience so they don’t care what happens to the victims. Scary just scary. This guy came in 3 times and thought he could scare these employees into what ever he wanted them to do.
What do you all think? Am I wrong? Are you scared? Should we be scared for the future? Do we have the power to change anything quickly? I not too sure.
Well, looks like one or two voters on here could very well be either criminals, parents of same, or both. The other possibility is they have never been victims of crime. Justice and Karma are wonderful things, rare but wonderful.
Well, they are hiring new BART police officers. These guys would be great. Put them inside the station and when a fare jumper hops over, hit them with a stick until they jump or crawl back the other way.
Best thing I’ve read in a while.
Why not show the whole video? This video made my day, week, month, year.
If the dirtbag’s daddy had whooped his @$$ as a child, he would have never been in someone’s store stealing stuff in the first place. Too bad he most likely never had a male figure in his life as a youngster. Things like this need to happen more frequently. Do crime, get your @$$ whooped, it’s that simple.
