6-13-13 fdl man arrested in van theft incident

A 19 year old Fond du Lac man is in custody after he admitted stealing a mini-van in Fond du Lac from the Shopko parking lot.  Assistant Police Chief Steve Klein says the man was arrested Wednesday morning in West Allis.  Klein says the suspect told detectives he stole the van after getting into an argument with his mom about the trouble he was having finding a job.  Klein says the teen told investigators he did not realize a nine year old boy was in the van and is remorseful for scaring the boy and the boy’s family.  The van was stolen Monday after a Fond du lac woman says she ran into Shopko and left the keys in the ignition and her nine year old son in the back seat. The boy was later released unharmed.  The suspect is expected to make his initial Fond du lac court appearance Thursday.
