Rodriguez left the store with merchandise he did not pay for and was approached by two female employees, police said.

He then displayed a knife and threatened to kill them, the affidavit states.

The victims “backed away” as he loaded the stolen merchandise into his vehicle, but they were able to get his license plate number.
