A 37-year-old resident of the Village of Mallory Square is being held at the Lake County Jail after violating his probation on a burglary charge.
Sean Vincent Sheehan of 1647 Snelling Ave. was arrested Nov. 18 after he allegedly attempted to shoplift items from Belk in La Plaza Grande shopping center in The Villages.
He allegedly attempted to conceal nearly $200 in merchandise in a Belk bag, according to an arrest report from the Lady Lake Police Department. He was found to have a wirecutter on him, presumably used to remove anti-shoplifting tags, the report indicated.
He was booked at the Lake County Jail on a charge of retail theft.
After his arrest, it was determined he had violated his probation.
On June 6, 2013, Sheehan had been arrested on charges of burglary of a structure and criminal mischief. Arrest records show he had committed more than $1,000 damage at the time of the crime.
On Aug. 8, 2013 in Lake County Court, Sheehan had been sentenced to three years probation on the charges. He had also been ordered to pay fines and court costs. However, court records show he failed to pay those costs and his account was sent to collection.
He is due for arraignment Dec. 14 in Lake County Court.
