Plymouth Police arrested a man who threatened an employee at Walmart and said he was from Chicago on Wednesday, September 4th.
At about 5:30 p.m., officers with the Plymouth Police Department were dispatched to 2505 North Oak Drive for a male who had threatened an employee. Dispatch advised police that the male had left but returned to the store to look for the employee again.
As Officer Fisher arrived at the store, the caller told 911 the male was leaving the parking lot in a vehicle. The officer located the vehicle and conducted a traffic stop.
The suspect was identified as Cristian Salmerson Guerra, 21, of Chicago, although the bookings report indicates he lives on West Harrison Street in Plymouth.
Salmeron Guerra was arrested for being an operator who was never licensed and trespassed from Walmart.
