DailyMail.com has reached out to the Federal Way Police Department for more information and additional comment.
Police Commander Kurt Schwan told KCPQ that the incident first started in the parking lot when the drunken man allegedly drove into a parked car but casually strolled into the store without acknowledging the wreck happened.
“Further investigation revealed [the suspect] had entered the business and was attempting to shoplift when confronted by store employees,’ Schwan told the outlet.
‘[The suspect] allegedly threatened to assault anyone who touched him and that is when a 21-year-old male community member stepped in and confronted [him]. A physical altercation ensued.’
He walked outside of the store and was immediately arrested by cops waiting for him. The man, whose identity has not been revealed, was charged with a DUI, hit and run, and attempted theft, KCPQ reported.
That 21-year-old shopper who had brawled with the drunken man reportedly suffered a cut to his hand.
