PD: Felon With Long Record Stole $37 Worth of Razor Blades

On Oct. 6 at 11:59 a.m., police were called to Walgreens on East Main Street for a shoplifter, Michael Dascanio, 55, of Russell Street, who had been held by store security in the parking lot. According to the report, a female clerk saw Dascanio put razor blades into his pockets, went to the pharmacy area, then returned to place more razor blades in his pockets.

Police say the manager confronted Dascanio and told him to return the blades, to which he responded by throwing a pack of razor blades on the floor and walk out. A search revealed $36.67 worth of razor blades still in his pockets, the report indicates.

Police say Dascanio is a convicted felon with a record of 30 arrests for crimes including disorderly conduct, breach of peace, interfering, robbery, larceny, trespass, assault, narcotics, failure to appear and burglary.

He was charged with sixth-degree larceny.

On July 25, Dascanio was charged with sixth-degree larceny from Bob's Stores on East Main Street. The report says while he was wearing flip-flops, he carried a $75 box of Nike Dual Fusion TR III sneakers, changed into them and left the store without paying.
