An 18-year-old Greencastle man is facing theft charges following an incident at Shoe Sensation, 27 Putnam Plaza, City Police report.

Jason Waller was arrested at 4:48 p.m. Thursday and lodged in the Putnam County Jail by Capt. Mike Hanlon.

Hanlon responded to a call concerning a theft occurring at the shoe store. As he headed toward Putnam Plaza, the suspect reportedly left the center in a westbound car that the officer encountered as he passed Taco Bell.

Turning his squad car around, Hanlon stopped the suspect on the Speedway gas station lot.

The police report contained no dollar value for the DC shoes.
