The co-owners of Best Mart grabbed hold of Solomon Yemane-Berhane soon
after one prevented him from walking out the front door late on Nov. 9.
The three tussled for about three minutes as the store owners attempted
to detain him, while at least two customers stood and watched.
Yemane-Berhane eventually managed to slip out of the grip of the husband and wife owners, after losing his jacket, hat, shirt and shorts in the process, and sprinted out of the door. He came back moments later to pick up his jacket and again left. The owners had followed Yemane-Berhane out the door after he managed to elude them. The two other people in the store left soon after, as well.
Broken beer bottles, overturned displays and merchandise were strewn
throughout the store after the scuffle. Police arrested Yemane-Berhane
nearby.
Yemane-Berhane was indicted last Friday by a Washington County grand
jury on charges of resisting arrest, assaulting a police officer,
third-degree robbery, third-degree criminal mischief, third-degree theft
and fourth-degree assault.
