A man spent some time behind bars over the weekend, accused of trying to steal meat from a Chatham grocery store not once, but twice in the same day.
Officers responded to a St Clair Street business shortly before 4:30 Saturday afternoon and say the accused dropped the merchandise when confronted, and fled in a vehicle.
Authorities were able to track the suspect down, and say the 37-year-old was already under house arrest for previous theft charges.
The accused was taken to police headquarters; charged with theft, possession of stolen property, and failing to comply with a release order; and held for a bail hearing.
