Shoplifter assaults Rock Hill Walmart worker, flees police

Police say a Rock Hill, South Carolina man stole $245 in steaks from Walmart, assaulted a worker and then led officers on a foot chase into the woods.
Reginald Brice, 47, is accused of stealing the steaks from the Old York Road Walmart near Newport around 3 p.m. Thursday, according to a Rock Hill Police report.
A store security worker confronted the thief in the parking lot when the man shoved and hit him, the report states. The store employee told police the shoplifter also attempted to bite him.
Brice ran away into the woods behind Walmart. Police found some of the steaks in his car in the parking lot, the report states.
He was later found hiding behind a garbage bin after an employee of a nearby pizza store noticed Brice looking suspicious and informed police.
Brice ran from officers back into the woods before he was arrested.
He is charged with resisting arrest, shoplifting and assault and battery, the report states.
