(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man is in legal trouble again for allegedly shoplifting.  36-year old Ryan Dunfee is charged with theft in La Porte Circuit Court.

According to police, he was arrested last week at Family Express on J Street.  Police said recovered from the pocket of his hooded sweatshirt was a bag of M&M’s, ice cream, yogurt, a muffin and a pack of Bugles. 

The charge was upgraded to a level 6 felony because of prior convictions for theft.  His last conviction a few months ago was for shoplifting at the Speedway station on La Porte’s west side.  In that incident, he allegedly took six cans of alcohol, a bag of donuts and several sandwiches, police said. 

Dunfee is currently being held in the La Porte County Jail without bond.
