Rock Island police responded to Black Hawk Tobacco on 18th Avenue after a man was sprayed with bear mace inside the store. A man approached asking for a former employee and tried to snatch the employee’s phone. The employee retrieved bear mace and the customer said, “I eat that shit for breakfast.” The man tried to snatch the employee’s phone again and was hit with the first dose. He then picked up a box and was hit with a second dose. Few details have been released, but the man left on a stretcher and police are investigating.
