Car theft not lucrative
By Dionne Searcey
Senior Reporter The man led the officerto the patch
A stolen quarter could end up cost
ing a Lincoln man as much as S11,000.
Sgt. Bill Manning of the UNL po
lice, said a man was arrested for theft
and resisting arrest in an alleged car
robbery Sunday night that yielded
him just 25 cents.
Manning gave this account of the
event:
UNL Police Officer Rob Soflin,
who was assigned to the midnight
shift, was driving by Famer Bocken
Company, 1935 Q St., and noticed
movement near some of the company
vans parked on the lot. A dome light
was on in one van, he said.
Soflin saw a person holding a green
duffel bag standing next to a van.
When the person saw the officer, the
man ran.
Soflin chased the man and caught
him a block and a half east of the
company. He noticed the man no long
er was carrying the duffel bag. Soflin
called in officers to help search for the
bag, which was full of the man’s
clothes. The man waited in the cruiser
during the search and told the officer
with nim of his abandoned booty: a
quarter.
“He’s the kind of guy you can’t get
him to shut up," Manning said. “As
soon as they got him he wanted to
confess to everything in the world."
I
of ground where he threw the quarter,
Manning said.
“It wasn’t a real lucrative ven
ture,” he said.
The officer arrested the man not
because he stole the quarter, Manning
said, but because he was checking
vehicles for money or anything of
value he could find.
“If somebody called me up and
told me someone took a quarter of
theirs, I’d say, ‘Jesus, I’ll give you the
stinking quarter. Don’t call me up and
bother me with that” Manning said
all calls were taken seriously, but the
department must give priority to the
most urgent calls.
“This incident is something an of
ficer came on to, and the only reason
more wasn’t taken was because the
person was caught in the act,” Man
ning said.
If the man pleads guilty to the two
criminal charges at his Sept. 8 hear
ing, Manning said he could receive a
hefty punishment.
The maximum penalty for resist
ing arrest is five years in prison or a
$10,000 fine or both. The maximum
penalty for theft is six months in jail or
a $1,000 fine or both.
“Five and a half years in prison and
an $ 11,000 fine for taking a quarter ”
Manning said. “It’s kina or embar
rassing.
