On 6/5/18, at approximately 7:30 p.m., a jewelry store manager and another man subdued a thief who had fled from a jewelry store with a gold chain and bracelet. The suspect was later identified as 32-year-old David Moreland.
Moreland tried to negotiate the price of a 10-carat gold chain with the manager. At that point, Moreland fled from the store with the chain. � Moreland was subsequently arrested. During his arraignment Moreland’s lawyer, Stephen Dalrymple argued that Moreland was desperate for money because his 4-year-old daughter is terminally ill. Recommendation: Never pursue a thief that has stolen merchandise.
