Frank Farr filed theft charges.

A customer ate an $8.03 pork sandwich plate with sweet tea and left Smokin’ Po Boys without paying on June 11.

A 60-inch TV valued at $2,500 was recovered at a Walton County pawn shop where it had been pawned by an individual identified by a series of phone calls made to tip off Aaron’s Rents, the TV owner. The June 11 theft was reported with a call made to Aaron’s about the location of the TV.

A baseball bat was produced and a wrench was also used as a weapon in the affray.

Smith and Couture-Hecker were charged with affray and aggravated assault and Smith was also charged with possession of drug-related objects.
