South Lake Tahoe police officers responded to a call from the Safeway on Lake Tahoe Blvd. at 11:02 p.m. on March 14, 2016 after a physical altercation occurred when two store employees and two citizens tried to stop 19-year-old Jose Rodriguez and 18-year-old Jose Romero as they allegedly attempted to leave the store with the beer without paying.
