COLUMBUS – A Seymour man was arrested after he was caught shoplifting again at a Columbus store.
Columbus police say that they were called to Menards on Merchants Mile around 6 p.m. about a man shoplifting.
Police identified the man as 34-year-old Daniel R. Mason, of Seymour. Mason was a suspect in a Wednesday, November 15th shoplifting incident.
When officers approached Mason, he took off running and would not follow police commands to stop. Police say that he dropped the stolen items near a parked vehicle and then ran into a nearby business lot where he was taken into custody.
During a search of his clothes, police found a small amount of meth and marijuana in his pockets.
