NP Men Face Additional Theft Charges – North Platte Post Archive

Two North Platte men who were charged with theft from DJ Automotive last week are now facing additional charges.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, 19-year-old Matthew Clinton and 35-year-old Hollis Littlefield were arrested on February 5 after police linked them to several thefts from vehicles at DJ Automotive, 203 Rodeo Rd.

In a news release Wednesday, Brown said that follow-up investigation involving stolen property at Littlefield’s residence in the 1400 block of West 14th Street, tied the duo to another theft which occurred outside the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission District Headquarters, 301 East State Farm Rd, on January 29.

A 56-year-old male victim alleged that someone stole a set of golf clubs, two firearms, fishing poles and several knives from a pickup parked at that location.

The property was valued at around $1,375.

As a result, on February 11, both Littlefield and Clinton were jailed on an additional felony theft charge.

Littlefield was also charged with possession of stolen firearms after police say he disposed of the guns.

Brown said the stolen firearms, identified as a .22 Marlin Rifle and Remington 12g shotgun, have not yet been recovered.
