Man charged with fourth-degree theft from Fin & Feather

A Marion man has been accused of  theft at an Iowa City outdoors store.

According to an Iowa City police complaint, Brent Werner, 33, 1020 Fourth Ave., was charged April 29 with fourth-degree theft after allegedly stealing more than $400 in merchandise from Fin & Feather, 125 Highway 1 W.

Werner allegedly visited the store on two separate occasions, April 29 and July 7. During the first visit, his check was returned for nonsufficient funds. At the second visit, it was found that the account on which the check was written had been closed, the complaint said.

Werner presented his photo ID at the time of purchase and his driver’s license number was written on the checks by clerk. Fin & Feather now faces a loss of $408.78.
