PARAGOULD, Ark. — A man who has been in trouble with the law before is facing new charges after a recent incident in Paragould.
The probable cause affidavit says on Feb. 5, 2025, officers took a report from a Lowe’s asset protection employee, according to the probable cause affidavit. The employee told officers that the suspect had entered Lowes, 212 N. 23rd Street, on three different occasions and stole items.
The employee provided paperwork and photos on all three incidents. The thefts allegedly occurred on Nov. 8, Nov. 26, and Jan. 24. The stolen items included a Leaf Blower, Flex Tool Set, Dewalt Planar, and Dewalt Heater, totaling $1,381.
Paragould police also noted it was discovered that the defendant was arrested and found guilty of a Theft of Property charge on November 26, 2019.
Ronnie Hicks, 37, of Jonesboro, was arrested on Feb. 7 for theft of property, greater than $1,000 but less than $5,000. Jail records show he also had a failure to pay fines warrant. Bail was set at $10,000 cash or surety. Hicks is ordered not to return to any Lowes store or property.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
