WEST WINDSOR — A 30-year-old North Arlington man has been charged with resisting arrest, obstruction of the administration of law and justice and shoplifting for taking $3.98 worth of potato chips from the Faber News stand at the Princeton Junction Train Station, according to the West Windsor Township Police Department.
Police officers were sent to the news stand at 2:26 p.m. Aug. 27 to investigate a shoplifting incident. The shoplifter, later identified as Bernardo Alexis Tuero, had left the store and was found in the daily permit parking lot near Wallace Circle, police said.
A police officer asked Mr. Tuero to speak about the incident, but Mr. Tuero began to run through the parking lot. As he was fleeing, he dropped an empty bag of Food Should Taste Good sweet potato chips, police said. The officer repeatedly told Mr. Tuero to stop, but he refused.
A second police officer found Mr. Tuero, walking on Carlton Place after he ran across Princeton-Hightstown Road. An investigation showed that Mr. Tuero took two bags of sweet potato chips, worth a combined $3.98, and left Faber News without paying for them.
