Shoplifting arrest in Garland

Investigator Avant had just entered the parking lot of Wal-Mart on Central Avenue when he was flagged down by Wal-Mart employees. The employees pointed out a shoplifting suspect that had just fled from store security personnel.

Inv. Avant approached the suspect, 25 year old Nicholas Hanke, and ordered him to the ground. Hanke refused to comply and began fighting with Avant. Hanke continued to fight, and resist arrest, and had to be sprayed with pepper spray in an attempt to control him. Hanke continued to fight with Avant, causing minor injuries to Avant's right hand and left forearm and ruining Avant's coat and pants.

Officers from the Hot Springs Police Department soon arrived and was able to assist in getting Hanke subdued.

Hanke was charged with Battery 2nd, Disorderly Conduct, Resisting Arrest and several warrants.
