YULEE, Fla. — A man was arrested for stealing two beers from a Marathon gas station in Yulee, striking two clerks who tried to stop him, says the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office.
According to the Nassau Sheriff’s Office, deputies found 51-year-old Eric Detiege of Tampa. Deputies said he smelled of alcohol, had bloodshot eyes, and also threatened a deputy.
The sheriff’s office said Detiege had an active warrant out of Ohio for Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer, Armed Robbery, Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Intent to Kill, and Resisting an Officer.
He also had a warrant for Exposure of Sexual Organs.
Detiege faces charges of Robbery and Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon in Nassau County.
“He may have stolen less than $7 worth of beer, but he’s facing a long list of serious charges that go well beyond what he stole—and time behind bars,” said Sheriff Bill Leeper.
