Driver catches theft suspect running away from Kroger

A trip to the Monfort Heights Kroger turned into an unexpected chase for one man who's now being recognized for helping catch a suspected thief. Kerry Johnson says he was completing his part-time job as a driver for a nursing home making his final pick-up of the day. A Hamilton County Deputy arrived about the same time. "The Kroger employees came out of this exit and that's when they were waving for him come in," Johnson said. The employees were trying to report a theft, but by that time the suspect was already running through the Kroger parking lot. That's when Johnson's experience as a retired crime investigator kicked in.
