A 36-year-old Marathon man was arrested early Wednesday for
stealing a computer tablet from a barbecue restaurant.
Robert Benjamin Albury was charged with burglary and grand
theft.
Deputy Anfernee Rodriguez responded to Porky’s Bayside
Restaurant and Marina in Marathon on Tuesday whereupon the owner had security
video showing a man entering the business and looking around. Eventually, the
suspect takes a Samsung® tablet from the bar area that belongs to the business.
The business owner put also put the video on Facebook® to which a responder
stated that the person in the video was known as “Tommy Bahama” around town and
that he was recently released from the Monroe County Detention Center on Stock
Island. Another poster on Facebook® stated they had seen the suspect numerous
times loitering near the utility pole at 15th Street and U.S. 1.
Deputy Rodriguez ascertained that “Tommy Bahama” was Albury
from previous encounters with law enforcement. Albury was identified as the
suspect in the video.
Albury was spotted walking along 23rd Street
early Wednesday morning.
Albury stated he misplaced the stolen tablet in question and
no longer knew where it was. He was also wearing a red shirt, the same shirt as
seen on the suspect in the video.
Albury was taken to jail.
