Victim(s)
Female, age 19, MadisonDetails
A MPD officer utilized a relatively new tool, Leads Online, to arrest a theft suspect after a 19-year old woman had her watch and some cash stolen from her downtown apartment. The victim had shared a cab ride home with two men in the early morning hours of September 14th. One of the men asked to use her iPhone, and then walked off with it after they got out of the taxi. The woman then invited the second man, the arrested suspect listed above, into her apartment with hopes that he would help her get the phone back from his acquaintance. He failed to help her and she later realized he (the arrested suspect) had departed her home with the watch and cash. Utilizing Leads Online, the MPD found the watch had been taken to a local pawn shop. The pawn shop shared the name and photo of the seller, and the victim identified him as the same man who had been in her apartment. She got her watch back. He got arrested, not only for the theft, but for bail jumping. He was under court order not to go in pawn shops, or resale stores, after the MPD arrested him in 2011 for a home burglary on Curtis Ct. In that case laptop computers and other electronics were taken. The suspect claims not to know the name of the man who walked away with the downtown victim's phone.Released 09/24/2012 at 3:29 PM by PIO Joel DeSpain
