Police tracked an Amazon worker down after they say she stole a dachshund from a Texas couple’s home and tried to sell it on Craigslist.
Mycah Keyona Wade, 22, was fired from her job as a driver and arrested on one misdemeanor count of theft of property on July 16.
Wade was making deliveries in the neighborhood on July 5th for the company when she spotted a 2-year-old dachshund named RJ. The dog had darted out of his home as his owners opened the door to go to the grocery store.
Wade snatched the dog from the street in front of the home, Huffman said. A landscaper who reported having a conversation with the suspect about the dog and private security footage from the neighborhood helped police identify Wade.
A landscaper reported having a conversation with the suspect about the dog, which, along with private security footage, helped deputies identify Wade.
The suspect initially denied she’d taken RJ but later turned the dog over to investigators, who returned him to his original owners.
Deputies say an advertisement asking for $100 for a dog they believe to have been RJ was located on Craigslist. However, no contact information was provided with the ad.
She posted $2,000 bond and was released.
