Back in April, police said Pitre held Commissioner Magazine at gunpoint at a parking garage in an incident that was captured by surveillance cameras.
Magazine said he was walking to his car and opened the door to find a man sleeping inside – that man then pointed a gun at him.
He is facing a list of charges for this latest crime, including retail theft and resisting an officer without violence.
