Las Vegas police: Shoplifter stabs 3 outside Walmart

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A man faces charges for allegedly stabbing three people outside a Las Vegas Walmart.

A judge set bail at $250,000 for Ricky Tasley, 43, on charges including battery with the use of a deadly weapon and mayhem, documents said.

On March 25, a person called 911 reporting a stabbing at a Walmart on West Charleston Boulevard near Decatur Boulevard, documents said. In all, police said three people were injured.

Video from the store showed a man, later identified as Tasley, shoplifting from the store. Two uniformed loss-prevention staff then approached him in the parking lot. The video then showed Tasley striking the employees with a large knife, police said.

One victim ran for safety in the store and hid under a deli counter, police said.

Tasley told police he believed more than a dozen people were following him through the store, documents said.

Tasley remained in custody as of Tuesday. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Wednesday.
