On 11/28/20, officers of the Johnson City Police Department arrested 21-year-old Daniel Taylor, 1126 E. Main St., Johnson City, and charged him with theft of property over $1,000.

Officers then located Mr. Taylor and recovered the property. The investigation further revealed Mr. Taylor had been in the store on at least two previous dates and shoplifted in the same manner. The items shoplifted between all dates totaled $1,736.00.
Mr. Taylor was arrested and transported to the Washington County Detention Center, where he is currently being held in lieu of a $2,500 bond. An arraignment is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., on 11/30/20, in Washington County General Sessions Court.
