Besides their popular brew, it's been the conversation at Coffee Underground in Greenville for days: how to help victims in Haiti. "Customers are very generous," says owner Dana Lowie. "They want to help however they can." Lowie put out a jar collecting cash for the relief effort, but never expected what came next. "This guy came in, came up to the register, and started chit chatting with my employee," she says. The shop security camera then catches the man stuff the donation jar in his jacket and taking off.
Police have reviewed the video tape an have identified the suspect as David Brozowski. Police have issued a warrant for Brozowski, but he has not yet been arrested.
Greenville Police say Brozowski was out on bond on a murder charge from a 2009 incident in which they say Brozowski hit a man at a bar. They say that man later died from his injuries.
Lowie says the suspected crook only got away with about $20. Still, for a nation in need, every penny counts. "If it was a tip jar, that's one thing," Lowie says. "But a relief fund to help people in crisis, that's just sad." It won't stop the store from giving though. "I'm sure the next jar is going to be filled up very quickly," she says.
He was in a bar fight last year and hit in and the man died from injuries. 2009 out on bond.
