On 12/5/21, at approximately� 6:35 p.m., a subject entered a jewelry store, approached the sales associate, and ask if the store had diamond Cuban links.� After being informed they did not, he asked about a few chains through the case then asked to try on a rope chain.� After holding the chain up to his neck, he handed it back to the sales associate then asked to see it once more. At approximately 6:45 p.m, the subject put the chain in the palm of his hand, closed it into a fist, and asked the sales associate to show him another chain.� After the sales associate asked for the first chain back, he stated that he’d give it back but again asked if the store had a Franco chain.� After the sales associate stated she would show him a Franco when he handed the chain back, the subject balled up his other hand in an aggressive manner.� At this time the store manager approached and informed the subject that she would take the original chain back so he could see another chain.� The subject then stated “no” and proceeded to inform the store manager that they can’t do anything or chase him.� He then proceeded to walk away with the chain still in his possession.
