Police beat Jan. 7
Theft: Michael Allen Rickard Sr., 24, of 133 Dunn Station Road, Prosperity, was charged by state police with theft by deception for allegedly taking $20 from Jefferson Market on Dec. 2. Police said Rickard was in the store buying a pack of cigarettes with a $50 bill. He accused the cashier of not giving him the correct change, so she gave him an additional $20, more than what he was actually due, police said.

Deputies said the warrant was issued in November and multiple agencies had been looking for him. Deputies said they found him on a well pad access road in Aleppo Township.
