TEMPLE TERRACE — With businesses left empty and residents hunkered down at home as Temple Terrace entered a Hurricane Irma "state of emergency," police arrested one Tampa man attempting to loot a clothing store during a smash-and-grab robbery with a stolen truck.

Jonathan Smalls, 31, was arrested early Sunday on charges of burglary of a business structure during a state of emergency, grand theft during a state of emergency, fleeing and attempting to elude police and resisting an officer without violence, the Temple Terrace police said.

About 1:40 a.m., Smalls drove a stolen, dark-colored pickup truck through the front of DTLR Clothing Store, 9233 N 56th Street, grabbed a large quantity of clothing and drove away, police said.

Temple Terrace police immediately spotted the truck driving west on Busch Boulevard and attempted to pull it over but Smalls refused to stop, police said. He lost control of the truck a short distance away and crashed into a street sign on 40th Street near Seward Street, police said.

Smalls initially tried to run from police but was eventually apprehended. In addition to the stolen clothing from DTLR, police discovered stolen shoes from Shoe Mountain on Fowler Avenue in the back of the truck.
