MIDDLETOWN, Ohio, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- A Kentucky man is facing charges for allegedly stealing candy, a police hat and two hypodermic needles from an Ohio police headquarters, officials said.
Derek Kidd, 32, and his girlfriend were allowed in the Middletown, Ohio, Police Department's detectives' area Dec. 2 to make a phone call after having been released 45 minutes earlier on charges of disorderly conduct in an unrelated incident, The Middletown Journal reported.
While his girlfriend placed the call, Kidd allegedly stole the items, the police report said.
Kidd allegedly tried to conceal the police cap under his own cap, police Maj. Mark Hoffman said.
Kidd was arrested and charged with theft and possession of drug abuse instruments.
"I said he was arrested for being stupid," Hoffman said he told Kidd's girlfriend when, crying, she asked what her boyfriend had done.
