Wichita police say man arrested for Jackie Robinson statue theft intended to sell it for scrap metal
Wichita police have made an arrest and formally charged a 45-year-old man in the theft of the Jackie Robinson statue from League 42’s youth baseball facility at McAdams Park.Police said the suspect, Ricky Alderete, stole the statue to sell it for scrap metal.“If you try to take something from this community, it won’t tolerate it,” Wichita Police Chief Joe Sullivan said.Alderete was arrested for felony theft, aggravated criminal damage to property, identity theft, and making false information yesterday.The statue was found destroyed and on fire earlier this month in a dumpster in Garvey Park, seven miles south from where it was stolen.“This is a occurrence that should not have happened,” City councilmember Brandon Johnson said.
