The incident occurred about 7:50 p.m. Wednesday at the Sav-A-Lot grocery at 4439 W. 63rd St. Williams allegedly walked past the last point of purchase with several items from the grocery when the off-duty Robbins police officer who was working security stopped him, Lamperis said.<\/p>\n
The two began fighting and Williams allegedly disarmed the officer and shot him in the upper right arm, then fled with the gun. The officer was taken to Holy Cross Hospital for treatment of a graze wound.<\/p>\n
Williams was taken into custody shortly after the incident and no one else was hurt.<\/p>\n
Williams was also wanted on a warrant for a parole violation on a prior conviction for retail theft, according to the sergeant. He has been arrested 54 times with multiple convictions.<\/p>\n
Wentworth Area detectives are investigating.<\/p>\n
