Supermarket Sushi Dinner Leads to Shoplifting Arrest: Police

Connecticut State police arrested a Mansfield man accused of trying to dine and dash from a grocery store.

State police said a trooper near the Big Y at 141 Storrs Road spotted a man running from the parking lot toward Route 195 while being chased by Big Y loss prevention personnel. The trooper jumped in and took the suspect into custody.

Loss prevention reported that the suspect, identified as Mark Gabriel Dorgan, 19, had eaten two servings of sushi in the store, then grabbed a 12-pack of Bud Light Raz-Ber-Rita and left without paying. When confronted, Dorgan took off.

Dorgan was charged with 6th-degree larceny. He was issued a $2,500 bond and is expected to appear in Rockville Superior Court on Dec. 7.
