DOTHAN, Ala. – Two men were arrested on Wednesday for allegedly stealing stereo speakers from a parked car at a Dothan gas station.
Charles Eric Rivers, 37, of Ozark, and Johnny Lester Dawsey have both been charged with unlawful breaking and entering a motor vehicle.
“It is alleged on Oct. 24, both Rivers and Dawsey drove to a store in the 300 block of Ross Clark Circle and one of them goes into a vehicle while the other one provides lookout and stole items from the vehicle,” Dothan Police Lt. Scott Owens said.
Owens said there doesn’t seem to be a connection between the perpetrators and victim, instead calling it a crime of opportunity.
Surveillance footage and community tips aided police in identifying and arresting the suspects.
Rivers allegedly committed the crime less than two weeks after posting $63,000 in bonds for charges of first-degree domestic violence and interfering with a domestic violence in emergency.
Bonds of $7,500 each have been posted for both men.
