SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — Sheboygan police say they were able to track down a theft suspect because he left behind his library card, which he apparently used to try to unlock a tavern door. Thirty-four-year-old Kristopher G. Lehnhardt was charged Friday with misdemeanor counts of theft and property damage.
Prosecutors said a bartender called police in early-morning hours last month after finding the bar's lights on, a cooler open and a window screen slashed in the basement.
The criminal complaint said the bartender also found Lehnhardt's library card on the floor by a door.
More than four cases of beer were missing.
