A guy has a court hearing. He rides a bike to it.
This could mean he doesn't have a car or can't drive. Or, perhaps, it's the easiest and most convenient way to get there. Another possibility is that he's trying to turn his life around by getting sober and exercising.
That last possibility seems plausible given that one of the charges against him is drug possession.
But he arrives late. All right, maybe he got lost or got a flat along the way. Or there might be some other reason. Perhaps it might have to do with the stolen property he's was charged with receiving.
Turns out, that stolen property included a chainsaw, an iPhone and groceries--in addition to an adult tricycle and two bicycles.
Oh, and those two bikes aren't the only stolen wheels he's had in his possession. When he arrived at the courthouse in Laconia, New Hampshire, police detained upon the request of police in nearby Gilford.
Two nights previous, there'd been a break-in at Piche's Ski & Sport Shop on Gilford Avenue. Guess what was taken during that burglary.
Jeffrey T. Wyatt, a local transient, admitted knowing that the bike he rode to the courthouse--valued at $1800--was stolen. He denied, however, any involvement in the burglary.
In addition to the thefts, receiving stolen property and drug possession, he also has charges of threatening with a deadly weapon, criminal trespass and willful concealment pending against him before he was arrested at the court house--for arriving on a stolen bicycle.
