Officers responded to the Wal-Mart for a shoplifting call when the store manager was assaulted.  Officers were told the suspect pushed the manager out-of-the-way and fled on a bicycle carrying a DVD player. 

Officers checked the area and located Lucas Wayne Grabbs (05/29/90) headed south bound  NAS Drive towards Lakeside.  Grabbs took one look at the police car and pedaled away fleeing from the Officer. 

He rode the neighborhood as he attempted to escape with the Officer following him.  Grabbs bailed and fled on foot.  The Officer pursued him and apprehended him as he stepped into one of the homes.  A struggle ensued and Grabbs was arrested.  

Store employees positively identified Grabbs who was charged with Robbery, Public Intoxication, Evading Arrest Detention, and Resisting Arrest.

The DVD player valued at $119 was located and returned to the store.
