STOCKTON, Calif. — Days after a viral video showed a would-be thief get beaten by 7-Eleven clerks, Stockton police said they arrested that man after learning he was connected to multiple robberies and other crimes.

The video that many have seen shows a man filling up a trash can full of cigarette packs. At some point, one 7-Eleven clerk pins that man, later identified as 42-year-old Tyrone Frazier, down to the ground while another clerk is seen beating Frazier with what appears to be a wooden pole.

The Stockton Police Department said it first learned of that attempted robbery on July 29 after 3:05 a.m. when its officers met Stockton Fire Department personnel at West Market and South Center streets. There, they learned of a man complaining of pain after being hit by a stick who would not disclose how he got hurt.

He was not arrested that night because the police department said it had not known then about his previous robberies at 7-Eleven.

The police department said it later learned that the man was Frazier, who showed up in the viral video and was linked to multiple robberies at the 7-Eleven on Center Street.

According to Stockton police crime logs, the first robbery happened July 28 around 3:40 a.m. The man, believed to be Frazier, went behind the counter and threatened to shoot an employee if he intervened. The person then took several packs of cigarettes and other items in a large garbage bag before leaving.

The second robbery happened hours before the viral beatdown attempted robbery, on July 29 at 12:27 a.m., police logs show. An employee told officers the same person from the first robbery entered and demanded money while making it seem like he had a handgun. That employee did not follow his commands and placed several food items in a garbage bag before leaving.

On Aug. 7, around 11:24 p.m., the police department said it found Frazier at the scene of a reported vandalism in the 100 block of East Weber Avenue, a few blocks away from the 7-Eleven. After arresting Frazier, officers learned of a third robbery that was not reported. Police did not release details on when and where that third robbery was.

The police department said it will forward all of its findings to the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office after it finishes interviews and searching for evidence.

Earlier, the police department said it was investigating possible assault charges as the video shows the clerks clearly restraining the man believed to be Frazier and beating him repeatedly.

On Tuesday, the district attorney's office asserted that it is only investigating the would-be thief shown in the video.

So you get a freebie? I’m sure they knew all about it. But this created a big public outcry (supporting the Sikhs, of course) and even in CA they had enough sense to do something. Originally they were talking about charging the Sikhs and now they’re not - so this is doubly good news.

THIS is how we take back our country.

We don't put up with the criminals or the do nothing politicians who are also criminals.

“THIS is how we take back our country.

It’s called vigilante action. And the truth is, the American founders and patriots were also “vigilantes” and “insurrectionists”. Had they had the same wussiefied pacifist stance as some now have, we would still be under British rule and would be just AS screwed up and socialist/communist as the UK is now. God bless the American founders. They gave it their best shot. They couldn’t have anticipated the level and depth of cowardice and corruption that we are now suffering from.

Covers his face with easily identifiable tatoos and then heads out to rob places with video cameras? That’s a special kind of idiot.

It was reported during WWII that Sikhs were well known to be the fiercest knife fighters in the World. The Japanese were very wary of them.

The Gurkhas were pretty tough customers too. I recall reading of an incident in Burma in which Gurkhas who were attacking a Japanese position were seen throwing down their rifles so they could use their kukris more effectively.

“police said they arrested that man after learning he was connected to multiple robberies and other crimes.”

After learning about other crimes? Do they give a first time freebie? If so, they should extend it to the store owners as well.

“A failure of Californian law enforcement.”

But a raging success for DEI.

Let’s see how this brown-on-black imbroglio makes the elites twist themselves into pretzels.

The 7-Eleven is 300 feet away from the Stockton Police Department.

Literally around the corner.

The entire article by author Jonathan Ayestas is a complete, confusing mess. Ayesha’s is a “digital producer.” He certainly isn’t a reporter capable of writing a basic story.

Not even around the corner. Literally across Center St. SPD on the SE corner, 7-11 on SW corner. Can’t believe PD hadn’t heard about anything sooner!

He’s been there before, you can tell.

Plus, I’d say those tats look like they were gained in prison.

Perhaps I’m incorrect, but that’s what they look like.

I thought they looked like prison tattoos, too. I wonder if he is beyond redemption. He needs a miracle.
