A Parsons man is arrested after an investigation into a stolen package.

Parsons Police officers responded yesterday morning to a reported package theft in the 300 block of North Central Avenue. The victim provided home security video, and the investigating officer identified the suspect as Shane Kloog based on previous law enforcement contacts. Police spent the day searching for Kloog before the victim reported seeing him back in the neighborhood around 4:50pm yesterday afternoon. Officers responded and took Kloog into custody after police say he initially refused commands to stop. Kloog was arrested on requested charges of theft and interference with law enforcement. PPD says he is currently serving a term of probation through Labette County District Court.

This morning, a citizen reported finding a bicycle and a package in a yard. Officers determined the package belonged to the victim and returned it. The bicycle was taken to the police department impound, and anyone missing a bicycle is encouraged to contact the department's evidence custodian.  The investigation remains ongoing.
