Five suspects have been charged in connection with an assault on 7-Eleven employees in Texas after the workers refused to sell a cigar to a minor, authorities said.
Investigators arrested two adults and three juveniles who were allegedly seen on video during the June 3 incident at the 7-Eleven store on Faithon P. Lucas Boulevard, the Mesquite Police Department said Friday.
The two adults were identified as 19-year-old Ahliyah Turner, of Garland, and Kiara Beale, a 21-year-old woman from Dallas. Turner was charged with warrants from another agency while Beale was charged with assault causing bodily injury.
The three juveniles were charges with two counts of assault, criminal mischief and theft.
The attack was recorded on video after the clerk refused to sell tobacco products to an underage girl, who later returned with several other juveniles, police said.
Video shows some of the suspects jumping over the counter, assaulting the clerk and throwing items at the employee.
When another worker tried to intervene, police said they were assaulted by the group.

>>In this day and age, I simply don’t understand why clerks are not better protected. It wouldn’t be that hard to do. Put a sheet of plexiglass two feet above the counter, going up maybe five feet.
In one city back east they made that illegal since it prevented thieves from robbing the stores.

“Are they so dumb that they can’t just have the 21 year old buy the cigar?”
Surely, that is a rhetorical question. :)

How often does this happen at 7-11s in Japan?

That would be illegal! Oh, never mind.
We could always rent Devils Island from the French. They shipped a lot of three time losers there.
