An officer responded on a shoplifting at Circle K at 4900 Brainerd Road. The store clerk said an older black male had arrived at the business driving a 2014 or 2013 Jeep Patriot. The man purchased $3 in fuel, and as he walked out, he grabbed two cases of Bud Light bottles ($31 worth of beer). Then, he got into his vehicle and drove away towards Shallowford on N. Moore Road. The clerk said the man was in his 50s, of a thin build, wearing an orange sweatshirt, blue pants, a baseball hat and a reflective vest. She gave the officer a handicap registration (unknown state), but no registration came back to that number in TN or GA. The officer did review security footage and saw a stock Jeep Patriot and that the male suspect never looked up at the security cameras, and his hat covered his face.
