Local man accused of stealing from Salvation Army customer

A man has been accused of stealing from a customer shopping at Salvation Army.

Donald Marshall, 52, address unknown, was charged Wednesday with first-degree theft.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, a man reported he felt someone "messing with" his right-side back pocket while shopping in the Salvation Army. When he turned around, he reportedly saw Marshall standing there with his wallet.

The man took his wallet back and told store employees to call 911. Based on a description given to police by the man, officers reportedly located Marshall in a nearby parking lot.

First-degree theft is a Class-C felony.
