Harris Thomas Garcia (12-7-92) was arrested by LCSO
investigators on May 7, 2016 for the theft of tools and jewelry. When she
returned home, she found tools and jewelry missing from both her shed and home.
The victim reported Garcia, who had resided with her briefly, was suspected.
Investigators found Garcia pawned items locally and he confirmed these items
did belong to the victim.
Investigators located Garcia in the Bronson area and during
an interview, he confessed. Garcia attempted to justify his actions and told
investigators he took the items because the victim owed him money. Garcia was
taken into custody by investigators and a search of the backpack he was
carrying revealed more of the victim’s property.
Garcia was booked into the Levy County Detention Facility
and charged with grand theft, dealing in stolen property and false statements
to a pawn broker. He is being held on a $40,000.00 bond.
