Dead shoplifting suspect identified

Coeur d'Alene Police have identified a 35-year-old man who died after an alleged shoplifting incident at Super 1 Foods on Wednesday night.

Andrew M. Dearmin, with a last known address in Sandpoint, was chased and detained by a loss prevention officer in the area of Sunset Motors, across Kathleen Avenue from the grocery store. His name was released Monday by police.

The loss prevention officer has not been charged with a crime, Sgt. Christie Wood reported Monday, adding that autopsy results are still pending.

Police reported last week that the suspect may have under the influence of drugs, perhaps methamphetamine, at the time of the incident. A toxicology test will be conducted, police reported.

The suspect was not breathing when police arrived, and although officers performed CPR he could not be revived.
