Man Arrested For Trying To Steal From Glenpool Walmart

Police arrested a man they say tried to steal two televisions from a Glenpool Walmart on Labor Day.

David Ray Bowman, 35, is being held on complaint of grand larceny, eluding police and endangering others and resisting arrest.

Officers said they responded to a call around 11:35 a.m. Monday to the Walmart at 12200 South Waco in Glenpool after store security said a man attempted to steal two televisions and wires from the store.

According to the security guard, the man loaded the items into a shopping cart and left the store without paying. The report says that when security approached the man in the parking lot he ran north towards 121 Street, leaving the items behind.

Officers said they checked surveillance video then walked toward 121st Street and found a man matching the suspect's description sitting in a ditch near the American Heritage bank.

When the officers told the man to show his hands, the report says, the man ran across 121st Street causing multiple vehicles to slam on their brakes while officers chased him.

Reports say after running through a wooded area officers were able to catch up to Bowman and place him under arrest.

According to jail records Bowman is being held on a $11,500 bond.
