ROUND ROCK, Texas (KXAN) - A Round Rock police officer is recovering from an ankle injury after he got into a fight with shoplifter.
Just before 7 p.m. Thursday, employees at the Walmart at Interstate 35 and State Highway 45 called police about a thief who had taken items and ran away from the store.
An officer in the area recognized the man in a parking lot of a business on the south side of SH 45.
RRPD spokeswoman Dee Carver said the officer tried to catch the suspect, but not before a brief struggle. The officer managed to arrest him.
The officer suffered an ankle injury and was transported to Seton Medical Center Williamson for treatment.
