Dayton man jailed on robbery charge after stealing bottle of booze, assaulting store security

A 28-year-old Dayton man faces a felony charge of robbery after allegedly stealing a bottle of liquor from a grocery store on Wednesday and then assaulting the store security by knocking him to the ground.

Donald Lee Davis was arrested in the 170 block of Koontz Lane at 1:05 p.m. with the help of witnesses.

According to the arrest report, officers responded to Raley's in the 3700 block of Carson Street for a report of shoplifting and battery. Davis had allegedly gone into the store and grabbed a bottle of liquor valued at $35.70 and concealed it in the front waistband area of his pants. He then left the store without paying, the report states.

Davis was confronted outside the store by a security officer who told the man to give back the property and to return to the store with him. Davis then removed the bottle form his waistband and told the victim: "I'm not going anywhere with you," according to the arrest report.

Store security attempted to detain the man in which Davis then pushed him in the face through the south doors of the grocery store, knocking him to the ground, the arrest report states.

Davis was located in a carport area of a Koontz Lane address where he was detained and positively ID'd by the victim. Davis faces a felony robbery charge. Bail: $40,000.
