The 26-year-old Tacoma resident walked into a grocery store in the 7900 block of South Hosmer about 12:10 a.m. Friday and shoplifted a black cigarette lighter from the rack, according to a police report.
He slipped the lighter, priced at $1.29, into his pocket and walked out of the store, the report stated.
When a security guard confronted him in the parking lot, the man threw the lighter to the ground and tried to run away, police said. The guard caught him and dragged him back to the store to call police.
