Texas man charged with felony theft in Kansas City porch pirate case
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A Texas man was charged this week with three counts of felony theft in a porch pirate case in Kansas City, Missouri.
According to court documents, 22-year-old Erick Alvarado-Mendez was arrested and charged Wednesday after stealing several packages from a home in the area south of Budd Park.
A probable cause document from the Kansas City Missouri Police Department alleges Alvarado-Mendez was taken into custody and found in possession of a folded blanket, stuffed animal and Stanley cup in original packaging.
A KD detective called the individual who’s name and apparent phone number was on the package and the man who picked up the call said his wife had just called him regarding someone stealing packages from their porch. The man also said the theft was captured on their Ring camera.
Alvarado-Mendez, when shown the Ring video identified himself as the man who stole a blanket, toy and three Stanley cups, priced in value at just under $200 total according to court documents.
The Houston, Texas, man told police he had two daughters and took the packages for them.
