A witness told police he saw one of the men enter the business and called 911. The witness said he then got a friend of his who works at the store to go into the building with him to try to detain the man that had gone into the store.

The suspect managed to get out of the store and got into a waiting car. The two men who tried to hold the suspect at the store then tried to keep the get-a-way car from leaving, but the man they detained briefly inside the store shoved the driver out of the car, got into the driver's seat and drove off.

Police arrested the man who was shoved out of the get-a-way car for suspicion of second-degree burglary and released him later pending further investigation.
