Paducah Police say they’ve arrested an Indiana man they believe to be the thief of nearly two dozen flags stolen over the last week.
Andy Sneed, 43, of Indiapolis, IN was pulled over Friday on Circle Lake Drive after a call of black pickup truck driving recklessly.
The vehicle and license plate matched the description of the truck used in the theft of 22 flags from Paducah Power Systems, the Police Department and other locations Sept 15.
Upon searching the truck, officers discovered 19 USA flags, a Paducah City flag, a Kentucky state flag and one belonging to a local church.
Sneed admitted to possession of the flags, but claimed he had “acquired” them, or they had been given to him.
He was charged with felony theft by unlawful taking and lodged in McCracken County Regional Jail.
