A Red Bank man who was lauded for heroism in a 2011 fire is in legal trouble again.
Robert Womble Jr., 53, of Evergreen Terrace, was arrested by Asbury Park police Saturday and charged with trying to steal a $40 item from a Rite Aid store in that city, according to a police report.
Police said Womble scratched the hands and arms of two employees who tried to stop him.
