A 60-year-old resident of the Oleander Villas in the Village of Sabal Chase was arrested in the theft of bird seed and a bird feeder.
Daniel Mullin on Wednesday morning entered the Wal-Mart in Summerfield and put a cable, two bags of bird seed and the bird feeder into an empty Wal-Mart bag, according to an arrest report from the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. He left the store without paying for the items and was stopped by a loss prevention officer who asked to see a receipt. Mullin could not provide a receipt and said he had made a “stupid mistake,” according to the arrest report. The items had a value of about $41.
He was arrested on a charge of petit theft and booked at the Marion County Jail where bond was set at $500.
