(La Porte, IN) - A man has been accused of stealing money from a downtown La Porte business by obtaining a key to get inside.

 

Tony Call, II, has been charged in La Porte Circuit Court with Level 6 Felony Theft.

 

According to court documents, the 34-year-old man went inside Zelden’s Shoe Store after hours last year, and removed close to $400 from a deposit bag after having allegedly stolen a key to get inside the building at 723 Lincolnway.

 

Call later contacted an employee at the store, promising to pay back the funds with money obtained from donating blood.

 

Call, who has several prior theft-related convictions, could face an up-to-30 month sentence on the charge.
