A Muscatine County man has been arrested for theft at an Iowa City storage facility which has been the site of multiple theft reports.
The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office says 23-year-old Kevin Ramirez of Nichols has been arrested after he was found with a stolen bicycle at Red Dot Storage on Alyssa Court SW just before 9:15 Thursday night. The storage facility has been the site of numerous reported thefts in recent weeks, with one renter telling KCRG television that she had over $8,000 in property taken from her unit. The sheriff’s office stepped up patrol around the facility as a result.
Ramirez is charged with 4th Degree Theft. If convicted, he faces a maximum of one year in jail.
Ramirez is currently facing other theft and burglary charges for allegedly breaking into laundry machines in Iowa City and Hills apartment buildings and stealing quarters.
