A suspect in a recent theft at Co-Lin Feed and Seed has been identified and charges filed.
On Wednesday, Sept. 27, security cameras captured footage of a suspect taking a deer blind displayed in front of the store around 1:40 a.m. With the help of the public, the suspect was identified as Jonathan Blanchard.
“Thank you all. We couldn’t do it without y’all’s help!” the store’s Facebook page reported Monday.
“We’re looking for him,” Chief of Police Kenneth Collins said Monday. “He hangs out at one of these trailer parks, and he usually rides a bicycle.”
On Tuesday, Brookhaven officers located and arrested Blanchard.
Collins said police are also looking for another individual they believe is connected to the theft.
