A man who first tried to buy two cartons of cigarettes failed in that effort and then stole them at a Cookeville store on Thursday, police said. It happened about 8:30 on Thursday morning at the Food Lion store on E. Spring St., says a report by Cookeville Police Officer Cary Matheney. The man placed two cartons of Marlboros, valued at $106, on the store checkout counter and gave the clerk a check, the officer’s report says.
But the check was rejected when the clerk tried to process the purchase, and she then handed the check back to the man, who took it and walked out the door. The clerk then walked away from the checkout area, leaving the two cartons of cigarettes on the counter. The man was just outside the store’s doors by this time, and he turned around, the report says.
“After seeing the cigarettes at the checkout, he walked up to the register, grabbed the merchandise, and left without paying.” He was described as a white male, about five feet nine inches tall, weighing about 175 pounds, and having a thin beard and reddish brown hair. He was wearing a green jacket, blue jeans, and a tan hat with a logo in the center, the report says.
