Brooklyn man arrested after allegedly shoplifting at Green Acres Walmart

A Brooklyn man was charged and arrested after robbing a Walmart at Green Acres Mall on May 2. After Jeffrey Davis, 21, attempted to shoplift merchanside from the store, security guards detained him and questioned him in their office.

An argument soon escalated where Davis allegedly threatened the guards with a knife and swung his arms, causing one of them to suffer a laceration to his thumb.  

Nassau County police subsequently arrested Davis without incident at 1 p.m. He is charged with robbery, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and criminal mischief.  He was arraigned at First District in Hempstead on May 3. He is due back in court on May 5.
