A Union teen-ager told public safety officers Monday that he didn’t know who stabbed him and he didn’t want law enforcement to arrest anyone if they located his assailant.

Around 9 p.m. Monday, Cpl. Scott Farr was called to a fight at Li’L Cricket on West Main Street. Enroute, he and other officers were advised that one person involved had been stabbed and both the victim and his assailant had left on foot. Officers also were told what type of clothing the people involved were wearing.

Officers were told that the fight was between Solomon Gore, 18, of South Church Street, and another man.They were told Gore had gotten into a white Dodge Neon and was supposedly headed for the hospital. Farr went to Wallace Thomson Hospital and was told Gore was not there.

Farr later was advised that Gore was in Monarch and was going to the hospital.

Farr met with Gore at the hospital and Gore told him he was in the road in front of 105 Lybrand Street when he was approached by two black men. One had a gun and one had a knife. He said the man with the knife stabbed him twice in the left side of his abdomen. Gore said he retaliated by hitting the man with his fists and feet. He said the fight ended up in the parking lot of Li’L Cricket. He said he didn’t know either of the men who had approached him and he did not want anyone prosecuted if law enforcement located the person who had stabbed him.

Gore was treated in the emergency room and released without being admitted.

Shoplifting

Two women who allegedly were using a younger cousin as a lookout while shoplifting were arrested Monday by the Union Public Safety Department.

Alexis Danelle Jenings, 18, of 400 Wallace St. and Dericka Shantel Good, 17, of 110 Pioneer Road, Union, both were charged with two counts of shoplifting. A 16-year-old girl who was with them faces one charge of shoplifting.

A report said PFC Eddie Williams was called to Wal-Mart Monday to investigate a shoplifting that occurred at Almost Pink on 719 North Duncan By-Pass. He was told employees from Almost Pink had followed the suspects from their store.

Employees of Almost Pink said the three women — one who was holding an infant — bought some jewelry and left the store. One of the employees noticed empty hangers on the floor as the women were leaving and one of the women had a big, black handbag. They saw the women get into a gray Mitsubishi Galant and followed them. They looked inside the car and could see the missing clothing from their store between the driver and passenger seat.

Williams, Cpl. Tommy Hart and an employee from Almost Pink went inside Wal-Mart and tried to locate the suspects while Officer Scott Hood and another representative from Almost Pink waited outside with the vehicle.

The 16-year-old was located, standing in the store with four bathing suits in her hand.

Williams went to the service desk and asked that the driver of the Mitsubishi be paged. The girl holding the bathing suits took off running and slung the bathing suits across the store. Williams asked the girl why she threw the bathing suits and she said she was scared and wanted to warn her cousin. Williams took her to the front of the store.

Ms. Good was located and she and the juvenile were escorted out of the store. Officers asked where Ms. Jennings was and they said they didn’t know. Ms. Good was holding the baby. Hart asked who was driving the car and they said they were not driving. Hart asked the juvenile what she took from Almost Pink and she said she took some earrings. She was taken into custody. Ms. Good admitted the clothing in the car had come from Almost Pink.

Officer Rusty Young spotted Ms. Jennings in front of the Garden Center. Hart was advised to bring the woman to the Mitsubishi. He asked her who took the clothing from Almost Pink and she said Ms. Good did. Ms. Good said Ms. Jennings took clothing, also, and the juvenile was the lookout for them. Ms. Good and Ms. Jennings were arrested.

Williams searched a black Guess purse and found jewelry inside. The jewelry had been taken from Almost Pink.

Williams asked Ms. Good if she had gone into Wal-Mart with intentions of trying to take items and she said she went with her cousins to shop. Ms. Jennings would not give a statement when asked.

The juvenile was released to the custody of her father. Ms. Good and Ms. Jennings were taken to the Union County Jail.

The stolen clothing included dresses, shirts, shorts, and jewelry were worth $308.

Both Ms. Jennings and Ms. Good have been released from jail after posting $168, or 10 percent of their $1,680 bonds.
