A Carbondale teen was arrested Thursday for felony theft after allegedly swiping more than $3,500 worth of goods from a high-end store in downtown Aspen, police said.
Samuel Candela-Herrera, 19, was apprehended after an off-duty sheriff’s deputy from Texas and his family, who recognized him on the street after witnessing the alleged shoplifting incident, called police and held him on the ground until they arrived, said Aspen police Officer Kirk Wheatley.
Candela-Herrera punched the 25-year-old off-duty deputy in the face, bit the man’s 49-year-old father on the hand and fought hard with three Aspen police officers on the corner of Hopkins Avenue and Mill Street before he was subdued, Wheatley said.
