Chicago Man Too Exhausted To Steal Cologne

I'll Put $50 On Him Finishing Last in the Trifecta

A Chicago man was charged with felony retail theft after he tried leaving Golf Mill Mall with two boxes of cologne under his jacket. Security guards tried to stop the man, but he swung a fist at the security guard's face, trying to strike, but missed. 

He ran out of the mall, pursued by security guards, and dropped his jacket with the cologne in the parking lot while running. He ran into the front doors of the off-track betting facility located in a mall outlot, and then ran out the back doors near the kitchen. A security agent grabbed him but he struggled free and took off running again, but gave up from exhaustion outside the mall.

When police arrived, he complained of shortness of breath and chest pain and was taken to Advocate Lutheran General Hospital, where he was treated and released, then taken to the police station for booking.
