According to the incident report, the surveillance camera at Foothills Pawn caught footage of the two trying to pry the door open several times, then jumping up and down on a bench in front of the store, and eventually breaking the glass to make entry.
A 14-year-old was taken in to custody at the scene and charged with second-degree burglary.
The other man suffered injuries from the broken glass and was transported to a local hospital for treatment, said Gail Few with the Pickens Police Department.
Officer Steve Thompson said he was traveling east on Main Street during a routine patrol when he heard an alarm coming from one of the local businesses.
“I could not tell which building it was coming from, so I came up Main and turned on to Court Street,” he said in the incident report.
“Thompson said he turned on to E. Cedar Rock, heading west when he saw a man lying on the ground bleeding from his right wrist,” the report states.
According to the report, the man told police that three men in a tan truck “jumped him” in front of the pawn shop and “threw him through the store window.”
Police called EMS because the man was loosing a large amount of blood, the report states.
He suffered a cut to his arm and buttocks,” Few said.
Along with camera footage, police also found an orange screw driver with blood on it at the scene, the report states.
The teen was taken to the Liberty Juvenile Facility, and a second-degree burglary warrant was sought for the injured man, according to the report.
As of press time, the case was still under investigation.
