SCIOTO COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) — A Wheelersburg man has been indicted on a theft charge after investigators say they found eight truckloads of merchandise from Kroger at his home.
The Scioto County Sheriff’s Office tells WSAZ they were contacted last year about a man who had been picking up from Kroger for local food banks, but allegedly had been going into the store and taking items that he was not approved to take.
57-year-old Ricky McCoy, 57 was allegedly going to the store and damaging items himself so he could take people what they wanted. They also heard people had been going to his house and picking up the items that came from the store.
In February 2015, investigators say they went to McCoy’s home on Green Street and found eight truckloads of Kroger merchandise in the home.
The case was presented to the Scioto County Grand Jury on January 22, 2016. He was indicted on a theft charge and arrested Wednesday.
