A manager with Jack’s restaurant in East Brewton has been arrested after a run across the country last week.
Ricky Rowell was taken into custody in South Carolina after a days-long trip that took him across a large part of the united States.
East Brewton Police Chief Kenneth Brazile said Rowell funded his trip with money taken from the restaurant.
“He cleaned out the safe at the restaurant and hit the road,” Brazile said. “He rented a vehicle and traveled across Alabama, into parts of the mid-west and back to the east coast. After putting out some information, Rowell was taken into custody in South Carolina.”
Brazile said Rowell’s two-week trip ended with his apprehension.
“He fought the extradition to be brought back to the county,” Brazile said. “But he is in custody here now.”
Rowell’s arrest report indicates he has been charged with attempted theft of property and is being held with no bond.
