A transient was jailed for an alleged theft and disturbance in the Green District on Monday night.

A report from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office said at around 6:00 p.m. 34-year old Dillion Johnson allegedly stole over $300 in groceries from a business in the 400 block of Carnes Road. The report said the suspect loaded the groceries into the back of a bystander’s vehicle. The owner confronted Johnson because she did not know who he was. Johnson allegedly hit the woman in the face and she responded by knocking him to the ground.

Johnson was detained without incident. The majority of groceries were recovered and were undamaged.

Johnson was charged with second-degree counts of theft and disorderly conduct, harassment, unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle, and for a parole violation. He was detained without bail.
