In a tale that’s becoming all too familiar, a man in Lacey has been arrested for the seventh time in just 14 months, with his latest misadventure involving $5,000 worth of stolen electrical wire. The situation began when an employee alerted the police about the theft from electrical boxes on Marvin Road. Armed with security footage that could lead a film noir detective to some real high drama, the police swiftly identified the suspect—because, let’s face it, getting caught six times before kind of gives you a reputation.
The man’s criminal resume includes a burglary where $40,000 worth of items was recovered, alongside various charges for theft and possession of controlled substances. With bags of wiring recovered during this latest incident, it’s clear this repeated offense isn’t just a minor slip-up. It brings to mind whether some people are just drawn to the thrill of the chase, or if they truly believe they can outsmart the law. Do you think that being in trouble for so long becomes a habit they can’t break?
One thing’s for sure: this guy must have some sort of connection with his local police force, considering he’s practically a frequent flyer at the station. It almost makes you wonder if he has a “frequent offender” card, collecting points to cash in for a vacation—is that why he consistently seems to be wiring up trouble? At this rate, let’s hope he finds a new hobby, for the sake of both him and the officers who are likely exhausted from his antics!
