Elias R. Wolston, 21, of Glendive, Montana, was issued a summons for theft related to an incident Wednesday evening at Fields Grocery, 139 S. Main St., West Mansfield.
Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the business about 6:40 p.m. and deputies spoke with the store owner, who reported two men had entered the store. One of the men allegedly shoved a food item down his pants and then left the store without paying for the item.
The store owner confronted the suspect, Wolston, after he left the store, and the suspect waited by the business to speak with deputies.
Wolston told deputies that he had been in the area selling a TV service door-to-door. He admitted to placing a container of shoestring potatoes down his pants and then leaving the store.
