This is for all the boomers out there.
First of all, the Port St. Lucie Police Department needs to get better bodycams, because I hate working in low res with horrible stability control.
Second of all, did you catch that the perp got tackled by the Energizer batteries?
Poetry in motion.
More on the September 1st incident from CBS 12:
According to the Port St. Lucie Police Department (PSLPD), the incident began at Mattress Firm, where the thief discarded an empty jewelry box.
Officers said that the store manager, suspecting something was amiss, reached out to the nearby Burlington store, which confirmed that a theft had occurred and identified the thief as the same person who had left the jewelry box behind.
While police were on their way to the scene, officers reported spotting the suspect sitting on a park bench nearby.
When the teen saw the cops roll up, he sprinted into a nearby Publix. That's when our 76-year-old hero heard the commotion and sprung into action.

Port St Lucie Police Department Master Sergeant Dominick Mesiti said while they're grateful for the good samaritan's heroic act they want to remind people of the risks when assisting law enforcement.
'If it was a more serious crime and a if a suspect could've been armed, may have used a weapon on that good Samaritan,' Mesiti said. 'So again very thankful that this gentleman stepped up but they have to keep in mind that they're putting themselves in danger.'
True, but I think he knew what he was doing!
