Suspect In Bellevue Shoplifting Case Arrested
The suspect was wanted in several area crimes, including pulling a knife on a Rite Aid worker in Woodinville, police say.

WOODINVILLE, WA - A shoplifting suspect who pulled a knife on the manager of a Rite Aid here - and who is a suspect in other area crimes - was arrested recently.
Woodinville Police say that the suspect shoplifted from the Rite Aid here on Oct. 19. As the suspect tried to walk out of the store with a basket full of goods, police say, the manager tried to stop him. The suspect pulled out a knife and held it at his side, so the manager backed off. The suspect then fled in a vehicle with the stolen goods, police allege.
The suspect apparently committed similar crimes in Bothell and Bellevue. He was arrested by sheriff's deputies and Bellevue Police when he appeared at King County District Court on a different charge.
