Brandon Keith Thompson, 41, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of disarming a police officer, interfering with an arrest, failing to stop at the command of law enforcement, shoplifting and removing a security device.
The incident happened at an AT&T store, 11316 S. State. An alarm in the store was set off when Thompson allegedly removed a security device from an Apple Watch, according to a police affidavit. While employees questioned Thompson, they discovered a second Apple Watch was also missing. Police say the watch was found in a drawer next to where Thompson was standing.
