| | 10/21/2009 - Dollar Tree Robbery | Shoplifting sometimes gets out of control when the thief doesn`t go quietly. At Dollar Tree, at 1901 W. Expressway 83, such a case occurred on October 15. A man inside the store figured he did not have to pay for items that the rest of us pay for. He concealed 2 bottles of White Rain and slipped out the exit. When the employee stopped the man outside, he pushed him, dropped the merchandise, and took off. In the process, a misdemeanor, like a traffic ticket, just became a felony.
