Wednesday — Police charged a Westmoreland County man in an alleged shoplifting that turned into a robbery earlier this month at the Clearview Mall Giant Eagle store in Center Township.

The suspect, Steven J. Miller, 46, of Hyde Park, is accused of trying to make off with merchandise — including meat, milk and baked beans — from the store Aug. 3. A store employee, however, stopped Miller from leaving with the items in a shopping cart.

When the employee asked to see a receipt for the merchandise, according to court documents, the defendant pushed the cart toward the worker and ran off. Police said the employee had to stop the cart with his foot to prevent it from hitting him.

The suspect was seen getting into a van and driving away. The van’s license plate traced back to a Pittsburgh company, which reported that Miller was using it that day and was taking it home with him for the evening, documents said.

Miller on Aug. 10 appeared at the barracks and allegedly admitted wrongdoing.

He is charged with robbery, a felony, as well as retail theft and simple assault, both misdemeanors. Additionally, police cited him with a summary count of harassment.

The witness, a woman who police did not identify in charging documents, subsequently identified the defendant in person, police said.
