BELLEFONTE — State police have charged a Mifflin County man with theft after they said he took $104 from an open cash register drawer at an ice cream stand during the Centre County Grange Encampment and Fair in August.
Police said Kevin W. Green, 57, of Reedsville, drove by the ice cream stand Aug. 29 on his motor scooter, saw the cash register drawer was open and that the stand’s owner was attending to someone. Police said Green reached over the counter, took the money and started to drive away on the scooter.
A vendor nearby saw Green take the money and put it in his pocket, police said. When the vendor yelled for Green to stop, he did, and he returned the money to the stand’s owner.
Green waived his right to a preliminary hearing on misdemeanor charges of theft by unlawful taking and receiving stolen property. He was released on his own recognizance.
