Police Arrest Burglary Suspect
Jeff Garretson - Mon 12:56 PM 07/02/2012
Homework pays off for a Salina Police Officer.
According to Deputy Police Chief Carson Mansfield, an officer who had earlier seen a security video of a burglary at Jim's Country Style Chicken that occurred June 25th - recognized the suspect walking down a street and made an arrest Sunday afternoon.
21-year-old Jordan Penwell, 318 N. Phillips, was charged with burglary, and damage to property for allegedly stealing $36 in coins from Jim's last Monday.

There has been no coverage on why this guy had the combination to the safe. If Jim's chichen gave it to him this could make an interesting court case.

Yes, this patrolman did a super job, glad we have some that are paying attention, and actually care. I'm sure it was a tough call, as hot and miserable as it is, I'm sure he/she would have most likely rather sat in the air cond car, $36 is not alot of money, but it's the idea he was out walking the street perhaps stealing from others!! Thank you for catching one, good news!!

Granny the only way you know its hot out is because KSAL.com has the temp on the home page. You haven't done a days hard work in your life. But sure jump on a chance to bash others, hate hate hate filled life. Don't tell a police officer he did a good job and in the same sentence question whether he wanted to get out of an air conditioned car. Complete idiot you are. There isn't one officer in your county/city that wouldn't do the same exact thing, but you will never know that, because you have to much hate in you to meet one and get to know them. Remember, it is easy to hate, but it is a lonely life. But at least you have your 3 KSAL.com fellow hateful friends to keep ya company.

tlittle: I do actually know what manual labor is, I spent 50+yrs myself at it. I worked hard, paid my taxes, raised a family with no assistance from government aid or handouts, I have callouses on my hands with nails that are short because a woman with a $50 manicure isn't going to do much hard work. You are obviously not from this area, so it's obvious you have NO clue what we deal with concerning our law enforcement community here. FYI, I do get up around 4:30-5AM, I do everything I need to do before it gets to hot out, I cannot tolerate the heat like I did when I was younger. And I do know many of them, some will tell you there are many on our force that are worthless!! I appreciate the Officers that are dedicated and do their jobs, when I see the "sorry bout your luck" attitude I see with so many of them, I find that disturbing!!

WHOOOOOOOO!!! I love "Keyboard Rambo's"..... All you idiots are tough enough to talk crap behind your keyboard... And I don't care who says what. Nobody will meet anybody anywhere because the one person who does all the trash talking, never meets anyone.... I will gladly challenge anyone of you losers anywhere, anytime... But, you wussies aren't going to show up anyway... And TBONE.... you don't count, I would never hit a woman... IAMGONNA.... your telling him to take his crap elsewhere? Then in that case, you need to go too... and GETUMGRANNY.... You talk the worst trash out of everybody... You talk like you were there when someone commited the crime, or was arrested. And when you could sum everything up in one sentence, you give us an entire article.. Just shut the hell up every once in a while...

gonnagetu, when you say "we" do you mean the three or four of you hate filled professional KSAL.com commenters, obviously you mean your little hate group don't need that on here, as if this is your little groups personal agenda blogsite, to bash and spew out hate. WE? Are you serious. You and granny and few others say the most outlandish far fetched bs, WE (meaning we the normal folk reading the local news) laugh and move on from your guys' hate talk, but after years of it, I finally started to say stuff back, I know it does no good, your heart and mind are so full of negativity that no common sense talk does any good, but I feel I must from time to time. And I do not recheck to see what you reply 98% of the time, cause I know its nonsense. You do have the right to hate and say it, and WE have the right to laugh at it and feel sorry for you.

granny, I am glad you worked hard, good for you, you did what the rest of us are doing or have done. My point is, you cannot deny, and didn't even try because you know, that you are very cowardly in replying the way you do, bashing and hating, you guys hate the sheriff and chief and it is a personal vendetta against any authority in your area, you make it sound like you are so in the know, but we all know, you are a very hateful, lonely, coward behind a keyboard that only knows what you read on KSAL.com. You say the cops in your area have a "sorry about your luck" attitude, if they do, do you think maybe it is because day in and day out they deal with people like you, I can imagine that would wear on anybody. But I know they don't have that attitude, you just know nothing about them, their jobs, and how they have to harden themselves so the stuff you throw at em don't stick, so they can go home and love their family without thinking of the stuff being thrown at em day in and day out. Have a nice life.
