Police: Man Sneaks Pizza Rolls in Pants; Wallet Stolen at Pool Hall

Suspected Pizza Roll Thief Arrested

A 19-year-old Macomb man was arrested Tuesday at a gas station for hiding pizza rolls in his pants.

Utica police were called to the BP on Hall Road about a larceny in progress. The clerk told police he witnessed the man, who was with a group of friends, slip the box into his pants.

When police arrived and confronted the suspected thief about the larceny, they found the box valued at $2.49 and several sticks of beef jerky on him.

Police said the total value of stolen items was $5.37. Officers said they smelled intoxicants on the man's breath and gave him a Breathalyzer; he blew .025. He was arrested on larceny charges and a $100 cash bond was set.

Man's Wallet Stolen at Snookers

Police said a man’s wallet was stolen from his jacket while he played poker at Snookers Pool and Pub in Utica Sunday, and then his credit cards were fraudulently used.

The victim said he hung his jacket, which had his wallet and keys, on the back of his chair just before 8 p.m. as he played poker.

When he reached into his pocket nearly two hours later, he realized his wallet was missing, the man told police.

Several charges at Meijer and Marshalls on Hall Road had been made on his credit cards within those two hours, police said. The victim canceled his cards and no arrests have been made.
