Suspected shoplifter calls 911 on Walmart security guards after they follow him out of store
Alfonso Aguilar allegedly pulled a knife on the loss prevention officers after they stopped him for swiping some items inside the Georgia store. He told police he didn’t know why they were following him and described them as a pair of ‘thugs.’
Alfonso Aguilar allegedly pulled a knife and then dialed 911 on his cell phone after being trailed by two loss prevention officers outside of a Georgia Walmart on Sunday.
A suspected shoplifter reportedly turned the tables on a pair of loss prevention officers after fighting them off with a knife and then reporting them to police as violent "thugs."
The stunning escape attempt by Alfonso Aguilar after exiting a Georgia Walmart on Sunday saw the man dial 911 on his cell phone while running from the two employees in the store's parking lot, AJC reported.
"These guys tried to grab me and tell me that they were," he says before trailing off in the 911 call. "But they looked like two little thug guys."
Meanwhile the shocked security guards were using their own phones to call for help while accusing him of swiping items from the Gwinnett County store’s shelves.

Aguilar said he didn't know why the men were following him and described them as 'thugs.'
"I pulled out my knife because they were grabbing me really firm," Aguilar argued to the dispatcher.
Instead of making a slick get away, Aguilar was arrested at the scene by responding officers and charged with aggravated assault.
The two guards, later speaking to police, maintained that they stated their identity to Aguilar after catching up with him outside the store.
