PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. - A Port St. Lucie man is under arrest after police say he attempted to steal a chainsaw by placing it under his shirt and walking out of a local lawn equipment store.
According to Port St. Lucie Police, Anthony Brian Ballard is facing a charge of grand theft.
Police said he went into Treasure Coast Lawn and asked for change for a dollar, then tried to conceal a chainsaw under his shirt and leave without paying for the merchandise.
Investigators then said Ballard got onto a stolen bicycle and fled from the area of 1802 SW Bayshore Drive.
A store employee tracked down Ballard and witnessed him drop the chainsaw in a vacant lot. Ballard was eventually caught by a store employee who held him in custody until police arrived.
Ballard was arrested and taken to the St. Lucie County Jail.
