TWO ARRESTED ON FELONY THEFT CHARGE
On 02/28/2010 at approximately 6:12 a.m. Dfc. Jose Rivera of the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office arrested Patrick S. Gleason, age 20 of Frederick. Gleason was charged with theft over $1000, theft scheme, and rogue and vagabond. A juvenile (male, age 17, resident of Frederick) was referred to the Department of Juvenile Justice on the same charges.
Dfc. Rivera was dispatched to the 5000 block of McLauren Lane for a theft from a motor vehicle call. The caller advised that he was walking his dog when he spotted an unknown person inside his vehicle. The caller approached the unknown person, later identified as Gleason, and detained him until deputies arrived. Gleason was found to be in possession of a backpack containing stolen property to include clothing, a laptop computer, keys and a cellular phone.
Deputies canvassed the area and apprehended a second suspect (the juvenile) on foot near the Robin Meadows area. His vehicle was located near the original call on McLauren Lane. Stolen property was recovered from the vehicle. The juvenile was arrested and transported to the Frederick County Law Enforcement Center. He was later released to the custody of a family member.
Through investigation, deputies have identified other victims and are in the process of connecting the recovered stolen property with its rightful owner
