An Ohio man who is already facing charges for theft-related offenses was apprehended for additional theft charges last weekend after allegedly stealing multiple packages of medicine from a store in Wood County.
According to reports, over the past month, a man from Bowling Green has had more than one run-in with the law that led to his arrest. Early in the morning on January 3, the 32-year-old was reportedly strolling down the middle of the left lane on a two-way street during a snowstorm. Officers from the Bowling Green Police Department spotted him and approached, but they reported that when they told him to stop, the man continued walking. He reported continued struggling when they handcuffed him. After he was taken into custody, he was jailed on suspicion of obstructing official business, resisting arrest, and pedestrian walking in the roadway.
On the evening of January 11, the authorities were notified about a potential theft. When the police went to the establishment and spoke to the employees, they informed the officers that prior to the current incident, the person they named as the suspect had stolen goods from their store several times. When the man was searched, he was allegedly found with the contents of two boxes of cold medicine.
The suspect was allegedly uncooperative when he was taken into custody, and after he was put in the back of the police vehicle, he reportedly kicked the door.
The man, who was found to have active arrest warrants for theft-related offenses, was booked into the Wood County Jail. He is now facing a total of four counts of theft without consent – one felony and three misdemeanors. According to facility records, he is still being held in lieu of a $40,000 bond.
