Man arrested after taking beer Monday

By Brian Smith
Register News Writer

A Lexington man was arrested Monday for misdemeanor theft by unlawful taking, alcohol intoxication and disorderly conduct after police say he allegedly stole a six-pack of beer from a local store and then fled to a nearby apartment.

Jeremiah Byrd, 35, was arrested after a confrontation with police outside a Maryland Drive apartment after an employee of Liquor Mart on the Eastern Bypass witnessed Byrd allegedly take a six-pack of beer from the store and followed him to the apartment.

Richmond Police Department spokesman Sgt. Willard Reardon said that Byrd became unruly and belligerent once police arrived, leading to the disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication charges.

Reardon said that while police generally do not advise business owners to pursue accused shoplifters once they leave the property, the employee in this case acted safely.

“They followed the guy to the apartment and then called us, but didn’t confront him,” Reardon said. “We wouldn’t suggest confronting a shoplifter, especially if they’ve left the property.”

State law does give business owners the authority to detain alleged shoplifters while they are still on the business’ property.
