Suspect Arrested in Connection with Gun Theft


George Plummer, KOOL1055 News 
 Chickasha police made quick work of a recent burglary that took place at a veteran-owned company.
 Saturday, officers were dispatched to the Two Vets Clothing Store in the 1400 block of South 4th Street to investigate a report of a firearm being stolen.  
 One of the store’s owners, Army reserve veteran Zach Grayson, was holding the suspect until police arrived. A probable cause affidavit indicates that video surveillance showed the suspect putting a pistol in his pocket and leaving the store. The suspect returned a few minutes later and attempted to take another pistol and that’s when Grayson, Chickasha’s vice mayor, stopped the man and called police.
 Authorities say the suspect was living in a home a few blocks away so officials obtained a search warrant and found the first pistol that was stolen.
 Authorities arrested 31-year old Theodes Shells on a complaint of grand larceny. Authorities later found out that Shells was listed as sex offender out of Lubbock, Texas after being convicted of aggravated assault on a child in 2012. Authorities say there is no record of Shells completing any type of sex offender registration as required by law.  
 Shells is in the Grady County Jail on a $150,000 bond and is facing felony charges of grand larceny, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, and failure to register as a sex offender
