Criminal knocks store clerk unconscious



An investigation revealed that a suspect entered the store along with two other men and belligerently accused the victim of "staring at him," officials said. The victim told the suspect to get his items and leave, officials said. As you might guess, the suspect apparently didn't take too kindly to the directive. Authorities said the victim and suspect continued to "loudly" exchange words, after which the suspect "threw a full, unopened, plastic 2-liter [bottle] of Orange Crush at the victim's head." The victim fell unconscious and first responders found the adult male victim "bleeding profusely" above his right eye — an injury that required 10 stitches and apparently resulted in a concussion. Officials said the suspect and his friends left the store. They are still looking for him.
