Pro tip: If you rob a place, don’t stick around the general area. Hightail your butt out of there . . .
A guy in Indianapolis got caught shoplifting from a Family Dollar store Monday morning, and initially got away. No word on what merch he stole, but it’s Family Dollar, so, it couldn’t have been worth much.
An employee named Jerome Stepp wasn’t having it though. Once cops were called, he decided to go look for the guy himself, found him 15 minutes later just a few blocks away, and shot him in the BUTT.
Another employee was with Jerome when it happened. Police said it was his fiancée. They both work at Family Dollar.
He fired two shots, and the guy dropped the stolen merch when the second one hit him in the backside. It’s not clear what kind of charges he’s facing, but JEROME is the one who’s really in trouble.
Turns out you can’t just go shooting people for shoplifting. He’s facing two felony charges for aggravated battery and criminal recklessness.
