18-year-old Keronte Caldwell stole from Sun and Ski Sports in Opry Mills Mall on the evening of March 7th. When officers arrived, they spoke with the store manager, who advised them that Caldwell entered the store and went to the ski mask section of the store, handling several masks suspiciously. The manager approached Caldwell and witnessed him putting three to seven ski masks inside his backpack and pants, totaling around $100. The manager then told Caldwell to leave the store and that the police would be called. Caldwell left the store without paying and was spotted outside by officers. Caldwell was detained after a brief pursuit toward the wood line on the outskirts of the mall. Caldwell consented to a search where officers located the ski masks in his hoodie pocket. Caldwell was taken into custody for theft and evading arrest.
