Thievery At its Best

BARRE, Vt. - Imagine being arrested for theft and then stealing a photo from a police bulletin board after you get to the station. The Washington County Sheriff's Department said a 25-year-old Montpelier resident tried it, and later told police he snagged the picture because he thought it was "cool."

The man pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of grand larceny in the theft of $1,300 worth of property in a car break-in in Calais, marijuana possession and three violations of his conditions of release on earlier charges.

Washington County Deputy State's Attorney Bob Menzel told the judge, "This is a defendant that's just not getting it."
