Alleged 'tip jar bandit' arrested in Arcata Tuesday
The so-called “tip jar bandit,” an elusive figure who has been filching change from tip jars and Arcata Eye newspaper boxes... was allegedly identified and arrested by Arcata Police Department officers Tuesday night... Justin Rene Peron, 25, from Sonoma County, was arrested shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday for providing false information to a peace officer... Peron is also in custody for three warrants out of Sonoma County.

(And, is there a qualitative difference between a tip jar and an Arcata Eye newspaper box?)
