July 25 LCSO assisted the MSHP with a male walking on U.S. 36 and reportedly trying to get into a boat which was parked on private property.  The subject gave "his name" to the officers and claimed to have recently been released from prison in California for assault on a law enforcement officer.  The subject claimed to be staying at the Community Resource Center and was given a ride back to there.  A while later a person reported to the police department of his wallet being stolen.  The deputy informed the CPD the transient they had checked on was claiming to be the man with the stolen wallet.  Further investigation led to the recovery of the wallet and proper identification of the suspect along with admission of where the wallet was picked up and unlawful use of the proper owner's name.  CPD handled the remainder of the investigation.
