Police Looking For Man Who Punched Clerk In Face Over Swisher Sweet Cigar
Lakewood, CA
It happened three weeks ago at a Chevron in California when a man walked up to the counter to buy a 1.41 Swisher Sweets cigar with only one dollar. When the clerk, Yadira Lara, told the man that wasn’t enough money, he became belligerent.
“He just says, ‘Well, this is all I have….(expletive) whatever.’ And I was like, ‘You need to get out of the store.’ I was like, ‘I’m sorry.’ And he tries to snatch it,” said Lara.
In response, the man reached across the counter and sucker punched the clerk in the face before leaving unhindered by any of the other customers inside the store who witnessed the entire incident.
“I just blacked out for awhile, just looking for my glasses,” Velma recalled. The punch may leave her blind, as it did further damage to an eye injury she suffered as a child. Lara said she wishes none of this ever happened, but hopes police are able to quickly capture the suspect.
Police have have released surveillance footage to help them identify the man. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Lakewood Sheriff’s Station at 562-623-3500. Anonymous tips can be called into LA Crime Stopped at 800-222-TIPS, by texting the letters TIPLA plus a tip to CRIMES (274637).
