A man was arrested on a requested charge of aggravated burglary after a bicycle was stolen from a rural Saline County residence.
Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that Brian Bonner, 33, was located at the Salina Rescue Mission and arrested Sunday on a requested charge of aggravated burglary after a bicycle was stolen from a residence in the 300 block of South Simpson Road on Thursday.
Although the bicycle was not reported stolen until Sunday, the sheriff's office had already confiscated it from Bonner. Soldan explained that deputies had first encountered Bonner walking on East Crawford Street on Thursday. They stopped and did a welfare check, however, since Bonner had no warrants, he was allowed to go on his way, Soldan said.
Later on Thursday, a resident on Country Club Road reported someone who he believed had gotten into a shed on his property and then taken off eastbound on Country Club Road on a bicycle, Soldan said. Bonner was located a bit later on the bicycle. He admitted to taking the bicycle, but couldn't remember from where, Soldan said. The owner of the shed declined to press charges for a bottle of Gatorade that had been stolen from the shed, Soldan said.
