Cops: Suspect Nabbed in Portable Toilet
Police looking for a purse snatcher were able to flush the suspect out from the portable toilet where he was hiding.
‘A Port-A-Potty is not a good place to hide,’ police Chief James Kudlak said Wednesday. ‘There’s only one way out.’
Johnny Snodgrass, 21, apparently matched the description of a man caught on videotape at a store where an 89-year-old woman’s purse was stolen in March and from a nearby video poker establishment where her wallet was found, police said.
The thief got away with about $45. Read more
