Black Friday incidents

[Ja Rhule]

Oh my...

It started on Thanksgiving, when Los Angeles authorities say 20 people at a local Walmart store suffered minor injuries when a woman used pepper spray to gain a "competitive" shopping advantage shortly after the store opened.

Then, early Friday in Fayetteville, N.C., gunfire erupted at Cross Creek Mall and police say they're looking for the two suspects involved.

Witnesses told Fox 10 Friday morning that a grandfather was with his grandson and wife looking at video games. They said that people were tearing the box of games apart, trying to get to the videos, and a woman ended up getting punched.

Then the grandson was trampled on in all the mayhem -- even cutting his lip. His grandpa put the game in his waistband so that he could lift the boy out of the crowd, according to some witnesses.

Witnesses said that's when a police officer grabbed the man and slammed him to the ground – possibly thinking he was stealing the game.

On a cell phone video taken at the Walmart, blood can be seen streaming from the grandfather's face. But witnesses said police didn't believe anything was wrong until they turned the man over.

One man said he saw the whole thing and that it was uncalled for.

“You would have thought there was a cure for cancer in this box,” said shopper Skyler Stone. “I mean people were literally going insane.

“They grabbed the guy, body planted him into the ground -- face shatters on concrete. That's a hard concrete floor inside Walmart.

“All of a sudden, you see this little boy run up and wailing and yelling, ‘Grandpa, Grandpa,’ and crying his eyes out,” Stone said.

So he was accused of shoplifting while he was still in the store? Where's shoplifting? He never stole anything...? Shoplifting requires leaving the store without paying... I smell lawsuit.

That's not true. If you are caught trying to hide something ie trying to shove it down your pants or something like that, you can also be accused of shoplifting.

NC theft laws

Can I be Charged with Shoplifting if I didn’t even leave the store?

Yes, in North Carolina you can face misdemeanor concealment shoplifting charges for even concealing goods within a store. This means if you hold something in your pocket or purse, you may be charged for this theft-related shoplifting offense.

“Concealment” is a misdemeanor charge. If this is the first offense, it is a Class III misdemeanor which is punishable by up to 30 days in jail. However, with the help of an attorney your sentence can be suspended if you successfully serve community service hours.
