NORWALK A New York man is facing a rash of charges after allegedly stealing from a local Walmart and threatening to kill store employees, according to police.
Jermaine Hines, 38, of Mount Vernon, N.Y., was arrested late Friday night after employees at the Walmart on Main Avenue said he confronted them with a screwdriver and threatened to return to the store with a gun, Lt. Joseph Dinho said Tuesday.
Dinho said staffers told police that Hines had been acting strangely in the store prior to the threat, including sleeping in the middle of the sales floor and putting on clothing from the sales rack.
