Boise man arrested for trying to steal full shopping cart of Legos

Here's a news item from the Associated Press: BOISE, Idaho (AP) ― Authorities are building a case against a Boise man accused of trying to steal $400 worth of Lego sets. KTVB reports (http://bit.ly/SFeiBu ) 31-year-old Jeremy Mark Liedtke was arrested Monday for attempting to steal the Legos from a Boise store in late June. According to the Ada County Jail, Liedtke was taken into custody on a felony burglary charge and has since been released on bond. He is accused of filling up a shopping cart with Legos and then leaving the store without paying for the toys. Police say that when store employees confronted Liedtke in the parking lot, he fled. A felony warrant had been issued for his arrest. Court records show he will be arraigned next Tuesday in Idaho's 4th District Court on felony burglary and petit theft charges.
