LOS ANGELES—Detectives Oct. 18 urged people to contact them with any information about other crimes possibly committed by a man arrested in the September robbery of a Chinatown-area business in which surveillance video showed the suspect repeatedly assaulting a female store employee who tried to intervene.
Courtland Thornton, 31, was arrested Wednesday in Hawthorne, where he attempted to hide in a backyard to elude officers, according to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). According to jail records, Thornton is being held in lieu of $80,000 bail.
