The Butler County Sheriff’s Office says a suspect has been arrested in connection with a theft at Liberty Center. Sheriff Richard K. Jones reports Brandon Haroldo Chavez-Bamaca is accused of stealing a bottle of perfume valued at 165 dollars from A-and-R Perfumes on April 23rd. Investigators say Chavez-Bamaca fled the store after taking the item. Detectives later identified him by comparing surveillance video with a recent booking photo from Hamilton County.

Authorities say he was located and taken into custody on a warrant. During the investigation, detectives also determined Chavez-Bamaca is in the United States illegally from Guatemala. He is now being held in the Butler County Jail on a first-degree misdemeanor theft charge, along with an ICE detainer.
