Springfield police arrest 44-year-old Denie Irizarry after he allegedly stole officer's gum
 
SPRINGFIELD – Police arrested a 44-year-old Spring Street man at an East Columbus Avenue convenience store early Tuesday after he allegedly stole a police officer’s newly-purchased pack of gum. 

Officers Matthew Longo and Darrin Fitzpatrick were just starting their shift shortly after midnight when they stopped at the Pride gasoline station at 1211 East Columbus Ave., Sgt. John M. Delaney said.

Longo grabbed a bag of chips and a pack of Orbit Tropical Remix gum and as he paid for them the store’s female clerk whispered that a man inside the store was shoplifting items and putting them inside his pockets, Delaney, aide to Commissioner William J. Fitchet, said. 

When Longo turned his back to motion to his partner, the suspect quickly walked over and snatched the officer’s gum right off the counter, Delaney said.

The officers then looked at each other in disbelief as the suspected shoplifter walked out the door, Delaney said. 

Longo and Fitzpatrick followed the suspect outside and he then attempted to dump an apple, a banana, eight packets of Cabot cheese and a bag of sunflower seeds. 

Denie Irizary of 41 Spring St. was charged with shoplifting and possession illegal prescription drugs. 

Longo recovered his pack of gum but had to buy a new one because the former was tagged as evidence along with the other recovered items, Delaney said.
