A man tried to jump into another person’s vehicle at Walmart Saturday night to avoid police officers. That led to the arrest of 19-year-old David A. Compton on charges of unlawful entry into a vehicle.

Columbus police report that they were called to the Whitfield Drive store at about 9:15 p.m.  Saturday evening on report that Compton was acting suspiciously in the store. That included filling a cart with merchandise and then fleeing out an emergency exit when he saw police.

He then tried to get into a vehicle with the vehicle’s owner, police say, but the owner told police he did not know Compton nor was he given permission to get inside.
