El Cavo bandito (the nail bandit) from Home Depot was apprehended today by Deputy AJ Noel and his shift compadres. Of course, he is presumed innocent until proven guilty in the court of law which is in his future. This was total team work with the public. The fuse was lit by their tips. Here’s a little timeline below:
Tuesday:
Deputy Noel request the nail bandits picture and criminal act be placed on Facebook for public assistance. Within one hour, the accused has been identified by a concerned citizen. We offered the citizen the May “rat of the month” award ( a grilled cheese sandwich) but it was declined.
Wednesday and Thursday:
Deputy Noel works on identifying accomplices and examining other leads to concrete his warrants on Jason Pease of Huntington.
Friday: Jason Pease arrives at the Target parking lot to sell stolen Home Depot items only to be greeted by Deputy Noel and his shiftmates. Pease was taken in custody without incident and transported to the Putnam County Courthouse. Pease’s vehicle was towed to the Sheriff’s Office for processing where a search warrant will be executed.
Jason Pease additionally has three outstanding bench warrants for his arrest. Those will be executed on him as well.
Most shoplifting cases have a back side to them. It’s not little Frankie walking into the Speedway to pocket a fifth avenue candy bar and a box of junior mints. Deputy Noel and his shift worked hard and quickly on this case and we appreciate their effort and dedication. ... See MoreSee Less
