Iowa City Police have arrested a transient they say shoplifted alcohol in his pants three times in one week from the same convenience store.
Staff at Kwik Star on Keokuk Street say they have video of 58-year-old Roy Baker taking various alcoholic beverages, stuffing them in his pants and leaving the store without paying three times during a one-week span last August.
Baker, who lists his address as 501 Southgate, was taken into custody just before 9:30 Wednesday morning and charged with 3rd Degree Theft. If convicted, he faces a maximum of two years in jail.
Baker has multiple previous theft convictions.
