Jay Frank Hemphill, 51, is facing a second-degree felony robbery charge after allegedly stealing a $30 tool set on Sunday, May 4. Documents say Hemphill was attempting to walk out of a store near 1330 S 300 W in Salt Lake City without paying for a tool kit when he was approached by a security guard.
The guard tried to stop him from stealing the product when Hemphill allegedly punched him in the face, breaking his glasses. Police said he “took off running” after the incident and boarded a Trax train.
The Salt Lake City officer gave dispatch the suspect’s information after reviewing video footage of the incident. The Utah Transit Authority was then able to confirm that Hemphill boarded the train and UTA police took him into custody.
He was booked in the Salt Lake County Jail at approximately 1:10 a.m. on Monday.
