Northfield Blotter: Battery, Theft and Drug Possession

The following arrest information was supplied by the Northfield Police Department. It does not indicate a conviction.

May 2

Theft: A Walgreen's employee reported that someone stole her wallet, which contained a large sum of cash. She left her purse in the car but brought the wallet in a plastic bag to work with her so she could have it nearby. Her lunch that day was in an identical plastic bag, and after she went on break she brought the bag of food back to the register instead of the bag with the wallet. By the time she realized the mistake, the wallet was gone.
