According to this crime report in the CA, officers caught Kenneth Russell, 50, attempting to use a hanger to fish dollars out of a pay-to-park box on a lot at Main and Huling, not far from the restaurant Spindini. They found three torn, wrinkled dollars in his left sock, so apparently he had some success before the cops arrived. Here’s Mr. Russell’s mug shot, from the Shelby County “Who’s in Jail?” site:
According to General Sessions and Criminal Court lookup, Mr. Russell has been charged with theft of property under $500 quite a few times in recent years, as well as the occasional motor vehicle burglary. His other arrests, for possession of drug paraphernalia, may shed some light as to Mr. Russell’s plans for the money he fishes out of parking boxes.
