Update: February 19, 2008
1 Suspect Identified in Beer Theft Turned Robbery when Clerk was Run Over Garland Police have identified one of the suspects in the beer theft turned robbery when a clerk was run over during the offense. Police have obtained an Aggravated Robbery warrant for 17 year old Clayton Lynn Payne. Payne, pictured above entered the store ahead of the second suspect.
Police responded to the robbery just after 10:30 pm on February 11th at the Mobil station located in the 2500 block of Firewheel Parkway. Police were told the two suspects came into the station and one of them placed a can of beer under his shirt and left without paying. The female clerk followed the two outside where they got into a car described as a small dark blue 4 door, possibly a Ford Escort, with a paper buyers tag. As they began to drive away the car struck the clerk knocking her to the ground and running over her leg. The clerk suffered a broken leg and had to undergo surgery the next day. She has since been released from the hospital and continues to recover.
