Two men were arrested Saturday following an incident at a grocery store in which one of the suspects allegedly pushed an employee who attempted to stop them when they fled the store without paying for food items, according to a Carson City Sheriff’s Office booking report.

Following an investigation, CCSO arrested Nicholas Hale, 31, listed from Oregon, for suspicion of felony robbery and misdemeanor DUI. The second man, age 42, was booked for misdemeanor petit larceny, according to the report.

Deputies responded to the grocery store in the the 3600 block of North Carson Street for a larceny report. Dispatch advised two male subjects didn’t pay for items at the store and pushed or hit the manager on the way out. Dispatch advised that the subjects left the scene in a black vehicle with California plates.

Deputies met with the manager who stated two males came into the store, grabbed food items and then went to the self-checkout where their attitudes were described as aggressive and that they were being verbal with employees. They were asked to leave. The two men then walked out the front door with the food items without paying, the manager told deputies.

The suspects continued to their car and drove away, westbound on College Parkway. The store manager provided a voided receipt of the food items, which amounted to $141.50 and stated they wished to press charges.

Deputies reviewed surveillance footage of the incidence and observed the two men at the self-checkout grab the food items and walk out the front doors without providing payment.
