Man arrested for bicycle theft
On Jan. 8, Forrest McConnell, 22, was arrested and issued a misdemeanor summons for theft of a bicycle. McConnell is not a University student.
LSUPD spokesman Capt. Cory Lalonde said the department received a complaint on Jan. 4 of a man lingering around the bike racks at the East Campus Apartments.
Lalonde said the complainant told the department he observed the suspect carrying a pair of bolt cutters and later saw the suspect place a bicycle into his car.
The witness knew the rightful owner of the bicycle, Lalonde said, and he proceeded to supply LSUPD with a vehicle description as well as a license plate number.
LSUPD contacted McConnell, who admitted to stealing the bicycle and was issued a misdemeanor summons.
