Theft at Burien Walgreens culminates in bloody brawl
A man who attempted to shoplift beef jerky and a can of soup in a Burien Walgreens at SW 148th St. and Ambaum Blvd. the night of Sept. 26 got into a bloody brawl when a good Samaritan chased him down and tried to apprehend the suspect. "He was confronted by a clerk. When she confronted him he shoved her, which makes it a robbery," said Sgt. Patrick McCurdy of the King County sheriff's office, referring to the
suspect. The alleged thief, who police say is a known drug user, took off on foot. Robbin Geiger, who was riding bikes with his 10-year-old son, Cooper, saw the incident and immediately gave chase.
