At 12:44 p.m. Saturday, police received a call from from Walmart, located at 1397 Leesburg Ave., in reference to a man who allegedly used force to steal merchandise and then ran from the store. While briefly searching the area, an officer located a man fitting the clothing description walking east through the Colonial Court Apartments.

The officer ordered Pauley to place his hands behind his back, and he complied. He seemed very out of breath and he was sweating, according to reports.

Pauley allegedly admitted to officers that he stole a speaker and a watch from Walmart. These items were found on his person, police said.
