| Daniel Moretti |
Daniel Moretti of 5300 South Pulaski is set to appear in Cook County Circuit Court Branch 48, 155 West 51st Street, on Wednesday, February 5.
According to a Jewel cashier (a 52-year-old woman), Moretti and an accomplice were in her checkout line, just behind a customer. When the transaction neared its end and the cash drawer opened, Moretti allegedly stuck his hand in the till to prevent the cashier from closing the drawer.
He also allegedly claimed to have a gun and reportedly stole $669 cash from the drawer.
The cashier immediately notified store security (a 49-year-old woman and a 62-year-old man), who struggled with Moretti and later told police that he threatened them by saying, "I have a gun, motherf~cker!"
Moretti was detained and taken to the store security office, where he allegedly tried to escape again before being restrained by security staff. Police arrived and took him into custody. The man said by Jewel/Osco to be with Moretti is at large, police said. According to a CPD incident report, $650 was recovered from Moretti, when he allegedly threw it behind a cabinet in the Jewel/Osco security office.
