Grand theft. An Arizona man is wanted for stealing his roommate’s Hyundai Sonata after the owner told him he could borrow the car to move in July.
The suspect packed up the Sonata and drove to his brother’s home in Falmouth, Kentucky, where he has been staying since, according to a charging affidavit.
When Sheriff’s Office deputies spoke to the Sonata’s owner in July, he told them he initially thought his roommate needed the car to either get a moving truck or to move his belongings himself. He did not know the man was moving to his brother’s home in Kentucky, the report said.
Because the car owner initially gave his permission, a deputy said, the FCSO could not press criminal charges at the time. When the car owner followed up with the deputy in September, he told the deputy he repeatedly asked his former roommate to return the vehicle to no avail.
The suspect offered to buy the car's title for $500, then stopped answering the phone, the car owner said.
The deputy has since filed a charging affidavit with the State Attorney’s Office, and the Sonata has been registered as stolen.

Disorderly conduct. A woman was trespassed from a local bar and then arrested when she immediately returned.
A police officer was called to the bar because the woman, who was drunk, had refused to pay a $42 tab for a round of four drinks she offered to buy for a man, according to her arrest report. The bartender told the officer that the man had paid for his two drinks on the tab, but the woman would not pay for her drinks.
The woman’s friend ultimately paid the $13 for the drinks, but the bartender asked the officer to trespass the drunk woman. The officer walked the woman and her friend outside to talk to the drunk woman about the trespass, the report said.
As he read the trespass information to her, the woman recorded the interaction and then signed the trespass warning. Both she and the officer left.
But fifteen minutes later, the officer returned to the bar and arrested the woman, who had returned there to smoke a cigarette and yell at her friend.
