The cashier said he became irate when she admitted forgetting to scan his CVS car and demanded a free pack of cigarettes. He allegedly yelled, “[expletive], you gonna lose your job, I’m going to get you fired.” When the shift supervisor came over, Suarez called her a derogatory term for a lesbian and made a little girl cry, police say. He told police his social security number was “9495” and his weight “0.” He was put in handcuffs, the report says, after putting his gloves on, clenching his fists, spinning around in circles and looked up at the sky quivering. He gave his address as “homeless.” He was brought by ambulance to Middlesex Hospital for detox. He has a record with convictions for second-degree breach of peace in New Britain.
