Jacksonville Man Charged with Theft

JACKSONVILLE — Jacksonville Police identified a man wanted for theft at an intersection Tuesday. According to police officials Landon Gray, 24, of Jacksonville, was caught on tape allegedly stealing a $199 television from the CVS store on South Jackson Street on Monday morning. Sgt. Jason Price said the TVs were located near the checkout area, and Gray walked in, picked on up and walked out with it.

Price said detectives were also able to tie Gray to the theft of a $65 jacket from Atwood’s Monday night. Price said associates in the store were able to take down his license plate number to tie him to the crime. Two counts of organized retail theft will be tacked onto his charge, Price said. He said it is a relatively new charge and bumps a theft charge up one level to a class A misdemeanor..
