As he left, a female employee tried to stop him and told him to return the merchandise.

Gutierrez then showed a knife and then said “sorry,” the affidavit states. The employee, fearing for her life, let him leave.

He was eventually found in the area riding a bike. The affidavit states that during an interview, he admitted to stealing from the store and pulling out a knife.

He also said that he apologized to the victim after stealing the items.

A warrant for his arrest was issued on Thursday, the same day he was booked.
