A customer helped LaPorte City Police arrest a suspected shoplifter
yesterday.
About 4 p.m......police say a man was seen taking a 24 inch television
from Wal Mart.
A customer began following the suspect....but lost sight of the
fleeing vehicle at Monroe and Franklin streets.
Soon....responding officers located the man and pulled him over on
Michigan Ave.
Police say 40 year old Joseph Childers was tasered three times because he
would stop kicking and eventually was placed in leg restraints.
Video from Wal Mart shows him allegedly taking the TV and an ID card with his name on it
was found not far from where the TV was taken.
