In the first report, a 64-year-old woman informed the police that an unknown suspect had stolen $40,000 in $100 bills from her between May 18 and September 18, the day the report was filed. Theft in excess of $25,000 is considered one of the most serious theft charges under Arkansas law.

In a separate incident, a suspect allegedly took money from a 64-year-old male victim to complete a renovation but never showed up to do the job. The victim reported to the police that he had paid William Sharp of Bay, associated with NEA Home Improvements, $10,000 for home renovations, which were never provided.
Yet another felony theft case was reported on the same day, stemming from a residential burglary. The incident took place between 11:15 AM and 4:50 PM on September 18 at the 1800-block of Kim Street. During this time, a suspect broke into the victim’s home and made off with various valuables, including a Playstation 5 and a gold and black AR rifle.
