Two University of Missouri students were arrested yesterday after admitting they stole Christmas decorations from several local families, police said.
. . . Officer Jill Wieneke said police took multiple reports of thefts Monday and Tuesday, and a neighbor of one of the victims gave police a vehicle description and a license plate number.
Officers tracked the vehicle’s owner to the Sigma Chi fraternity . . . . The owner of the vehicle said he had lent his vehicle to two other men, and the men admitted to police that they had stolen several items, Wieneke said.
Alexander A. Hanson, 18, and Jackson R. Hobbs, 19, each were arrested on a charge of felony stealing. Each man was released from jail after posting a $4,500 bond. The men were charged with felonies because the total value of the items was more than $500, Wieneke said.
Wieneke said Hanson and Hobbs said they were going to use the items to decorate their fraternity house. Among the items recovered were a metal Christmas tree, Christmas wreaths and white plastic statues of baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph as well as other Nativity scene statuary, such as a lamb, shepherd and camel. . . .
Comment I didn't see anything in the report about wise men or a wise man, but then a whole lot of wisdom wasn't displayed, if the report is reasonably accurate.
