An employee at the Market Basket on Somerville Avenue became suspicious of a man who entered the store’s bathroom carrying a carton of orange juice last week. Upon investigation, the employee found the emptied carton in the bathroom after the man had left, according to reports.
The man was stopped by store personnel as he tried leaving, and was reportedly found to have a cooked chicken hidden under his shirt.
The man, Derek Agresti, 41, was held at the store until police arrived. When questioned by police he reportedly claimed that he had no ID and began shouting, saying that he was going to kill everyone.
Agresti reportedly continued yelling and screaming as he was led out of the store. He has been charged with shoplifting by asportation, threat to commit a crime, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.
