An 18-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday night for breaking into the SOS Mini-Mart on Vernon Street. He has been charged with burglary and obstructing law enforcement officers.
According to a press release from the Lagrange Police Department, officers responded to an anti-theft alarm at a store around 9:32 PM. Upon arrival, they found the front glass door shattered and Jaterrius Russell running out from the store's parking lot with a backpack containing stolen electronic cigarettes and accessories valued at over $850.
According to the LPD, Russell was ordered to stop but continued to run and engaged in a struggle with a BOLO Wrap device, but this did not prevent Russell from escaping.
The LPD then used a Taser gun to end the pursuit. Russell was subsequently detained without any further incident.
