CHELTENHAM, Pa. – A Pennsylvania man is facing charges after investigators say he stabbed a security guard in the aisle of a Five Below following an argument earlier that day.
Truman Parks, 52, is accused of shoplifting $150 worth of items from the Five Below in Cheltenham on Dec. 6 and returning to the store to return his empty basket.
That’s when investigators say Parks got into a “heated verbal exchange” with a security guard who followed him into the store’s parking lot.

Parks returned to the Five Below about an hour later with Sydney Swain-Parks, 27. The pair were captured on surveillance camera searching the store for the guard.
Investigators say Truman Parks stabbed the guard from behind and punched him before the pair fled the store in a blue Jeep Liberty driven by Sydney Swain-Parks.
Officers arrived to find the guard “lying in a pool of blood” and going in-and-out of consciousness. He was taken to Jefferson Hospital for treatment of “life-threatening injuries” and has since been released, police said.
Investigators used surveillance footage of Park’s license plate number to link her to not only the stabbing, but also to hit-and-run crash that happened earlier that day. A search of Park’s address was able to help them identify Truman Parks as the stabbing suspect.
Both suspects have been charged with attempted murder and a slew of other charges.
