Today I am blogging about a criminal that was caught here at the sears store by our friend , and the owner of the sears store, Andy Patry.  Last Tuesday he sold a man a 45 in flat screen TV and a dvd player.  The customer loaded up $644 worth of merchandise.  "He just acted a little suspicious," he said.  The car, with no licence plates, didn't look right.  The check, signed Preston Gordon, looked suspicious too, he said.  After the customer left with the TV and dvd player, Andy drove to the address on the check, and found it didn't exist.  He then called the police.  Ellensburg police officers found Donald S Speight, 34, of Philadelphia, who is wanted in new jersey, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Speight is now in kittitas county jail with charges of forgery,and possession of a stolen vehicle.  He wrote fake checks to three Ellensburg buisnesses on tuesday to steal merchandise worth $1,785.  When they pulled Speight over he said "If this is about the TV i can take it back."  The police later found out that his, or not his, SUV was stolen from a dealership in new jersey.
