No new charges for toy thief, had outstanding warrantTue, 12/23/2008 - 4:42pm

An Atlanta man got a gift of his own Saturday when Toys”R”Us at Fayette Pavilion decided not to press charges after he stole several items, police said. But Marcus Beauford still went to jail over an outstanding warrant issued by Riverdale Police. Beauford, 38, was walking out of the toy store carrying a bag of items, said Fayetteville Police spokesperson Glenn Askew. An alert employee approached cashiers asking if he had paid for the items, said Askew. Police were called when it was determined that Beauford had not made a purchase in the store, Askew said. Beauford was still in the parking lot with the items when police arrived, said Askew. The bag was returned to the store, though the Toys”R”Us did not want to prosecute, Askew said. Beauford was arrested on the outstanding warrant. login to post comments![]() |
