BLUFORD, Ill. (WJPF) – A man, trying to break into a car parked at a Jefferson County Dollar General, was instead detained by store employees until the police arrived.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office says last Wednesday, 30-year-old Dillon Beccue took property from a car parked at the Dollar General in Bluford. Before Beccue could get away, store employees confronted him in the parking lot and physically held him there, at times fighting, until police arrived and placed him under arrest.

Dillon Beccue was charged with theft from a motor vehicle, aggravated battery for fighting with store employees, and possession of a controlled substance after officers found drugs in his possession during the arrest.
