CLARION CO., Pa. (EYT) — A man who reportedly stole money from a wallet left on a local pharmacy counter is due back in court on Wednesday.

Court documents indicate 38-year-old Benjamin Michael Goodrow, of Ridgway, is scheduled to stand for a special plea hearing in front of President Judge Sara J. Seidle-Patton at 10:45 a.m. on Wednesday, January 6, on the following charges:

– Theft By Unlawful Taking-Movable Property, Misdemeanor 2
– Theft Property Lost Etc By Mistake, Misdemeanor 2

The charges stem from an incident that occurred at the Clarion Walmart in early January.

Details of the case:

According to a criminal complaint, around 3:30 p.m. on January 2, a known woman reported a theft to the Clarion-based State Police.

The woman told police she had left her wallet on the counter in the pharmacy department at the Clarion Walmart store in Monroe Township, and after recovering the wallet, she realized that approximately $65.00 was missing.

Trooper Beers, of the Clarion-based State Police, then spoke with the Loss Prevention team at the store and was able to view video footage from the pharmacy department.

According to the complaint, in the video Benjamin Goodrow was seen concealing the wallet and removing it from the counter. He then left the pharmacy department, walked out of the store, came back inside, and dropped the wallet in a different area of the store.

The charges were filed through Magisterial District Judge Timothy P. Schill’s office on Thursday, February 13.
