A Fostoria man was arrested Sunday (12/21) for theft, criminal damaging and criminal trespassing at Wood County Hospital, 950 W. Wooster St.

Bowling Green Police were called to the hospital around 1 a.m., for a man who had been discharged hours before but had not left the facility. Police found the 55-year-old with his pants reportedly weighted down by items he had taken from a desk.

When asked if he had stolen the items and damaged property, the man allegedly told police he had and said, “I have very sticky fingers for some stupid reason.”

In his pockets, police found scissors, a stapler, tape dispenser, folding hex key set, and light bulbs for a Christmas tree.

The man was taken to Wood County Jail.
