Welcome to Issue No. 1 of WhitlockAvenue.com’s Crime Log! This week, our story involves a dumb criminal. It seems that about a week ago, an unnamed employee at our local CVS Pharmacy was working late-night. Our amateur criminal entered the store and tried to take 2 packages of cigarettes. The unnamed employee wasn’t going to let this criminal go without a fight. The employee engaged the criminal in a tussle and they went back and forth a few times, before the criminal pushed the employee back against the wall behind the counter and onto the floor.

The employee injured their tailbone area, but was able to get back up. When the employee was back on their feet, the criminal had left the store. However, they left one key piece of personal property on the counter: a wallet. Not surprisingly, our heroic employee called the police and the criminal was apprehended within 30 minutes! Got a funny story for the crime log? Tell us about it!
