AUSTIN, Texas — Austin police are seeking public assistance in identifying a 
suspect who allegedly interfered with an emergency phone call at a local 
Walgreens, following an attempted shoplifting incident.

The incident occurred on July 11 around 10 a.m. at the Walgreens located at 
6812 North Lamar Boulevard. According to the Austin Police Department, 
employees began monitoring a couple after being alerted by a nearby 
convenience store worker about a potential shoplifting attempt.

The situation escalated when the female suspect became verbally 
argumentative with staff. As an employee announced they were calling 911, 
the male suspect reportedly grabbed the employee's phone while shouting, 
"I'm not stealing your phone!" A chase ensued, with the employee eventually 
retrieving their phone.

The suspect is described as a Black male in his early 30s with a muscular 
build and a tattoo on his right arm and bicep. He was accompanied by four 
children under six years of age and a thin Hispanic female with a tattoo on 
her right leg. The children reportedly witnessed the entire encounter.

Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact Capital Area Crime 
Stoppers anonymously at austincrimestoppers.org or by calling 512-472-TIPS. 
A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered for information leading to an 
arrest.

The police have classified this as a case of interfering with an emergency 
phone call.
