Shoplifting — Several incidents of shoplifting have been reported since Thursday, with some arrests made. Thursday, officer Larry Bell jailed a 22-year-old man who was detained by Burlington Coat Factory security for police. The man is suspected of leaving with clothes valued at less than $50. He posted $1,500 bail in surety bonds later the same day on the charge of theft less than $50 with previous conviction. Friday, officer Brett Mullen jailed a 30-year-old woman on the same charge after being stopped outside Walmart by that store’s in-house security. Bail was set at $1,500, which the suspect posted in surety bonds later Friday. Also on Friday, Hobby Lobby store personnel called police to report that two females had left with sketching markers valued at $1,400.

On Saturday, officer Ryan Hapiuk arrested a 23-year-old man on several charges, including theft, evading arrest or detention, and failure to identify a fugitive by giving a false name, plus two outstanding warrants. The suspect reportedly left a Dollar General store on East Lamar. Hapiuk reported finding the suspect near the store with the stolen merchandise in his possession. He issued the man a citation charging him with theft, then discovered the suspect had given him a phony name. Hapiuk again located the suspect on Patricia Street, and when the officer entered the house, the suspect crawled through a window and ran on foot from police. He was caught and arrested. As of Monday, he remained incarcerated in lieu of a total of $8,998 bail and cash bonds. The property he is accused of stealing is valued at less than $50.

Carson first arrested him on a charge of failure to identify. Then, when searching him prior to taking him to jail, he found a pill bottle filled with marijuana inside the suspect’s pocket. Also inside that pill bottle was one pill which Carson identified as morphine. He added charges of possession of marijuana and possession of controlled substance, both enhanced by being in a drug-free zone. The suspect posted a total of $11,500 bail in surety bonds later Friday.
