South Jordan police have identified one of two outstanding suspects in a Wal-Mart robbery.
Officers are still looking for Tonga Angliau, 20, who is suspected of assaulting a store clerk after he and the other suspect allegedly left without paying for groceries, police say. The other suspect, another 20-year-old man, was arrested Wednesday and booked into the Salt Lake County jail.
On Monday evening, two men entered the Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market at 3706 W. 9800 South, filled a shopping cart with grocery items and allegedly left the store without paying for them, police reported. A store employee followed the suspects out, but stayed back while reporting the theft to police, when one of the suspects allegedly ran at the employee and punched him, knocking him to the ground.
Several other employees ran out to assist the injured employee and the suspect threatened them as well, police reported. The 34-year-old victim suffered minor facial and arm injuries and was treated at a local hospital.
The two suspects fled westbound in a silver passenger vehicle. A partial license plate identification of Y85 was obtained.
Both suspects were described as about 5-foot-9 to 6-foot, and about 250 pounds with dark hair.
Anyone with information is asked to call the South Jordan Police Department at 801-840-4000.
