The Centralia Police Department has arrested 32-year-old Timothy Smith of Adams Road in Kell in connection with the theft of a scooter from the impoundment lot at Smitty’s Auto.

However, Smith had been let go following initially questioning but police say additional evidence later surfaced to allegedly tie him to the case. He was taken to the Marion County Jail for felony theft.
