Jason McLeod, 33, was arrested on charges of aggravated robbery, unlawful possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and unlawful possession of a firearm in an alcoholic establishment after police officials say he was accused of stealing a wallet at Pinky's Bar, located at 300 Tulane.
“The incident took place at approximately 10:35 p.m. Monday,” said Sgt. Tony Everett, public information officer for the Big Spring Police Department. “McLeod was at the bar with a lady friend. During the course of the evening, another patron realized her wallet was missing and confronted McLeod about it. At that time the man displayed a firearm.”
Everett said McLeod and the unidentified woman left the bar shortly after the confrontation, but thanks to a description of his vehicle, law enforcement officials were able to nab him shortly after.
“He was taken into custody after police officers spotted his vehicle traveling on FM 700,” said Everett. “He was arrested without incident and no one was injured.”
Everett said as of this morning McLeod remained in custody at the city jail waiting arraignment.
