MONTCALM COUNTY, Mich. – Montcalm County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested a 40-year-old Orleans man for stealing several items from the Dollar General in Sheridan.

On Tuesday, Brian Keith Hansen was charged with retail theft.

According to an employee of the store, Hansen stood in the clearance aisle from around 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday evening. They made contact with him on multiple occasions and called police after becoming concerned that he was in the process of stealing things.

When officers arrived they found Hansen had several items on him that were just stolen from the store. The items included make-up, tampons and baby bibs. Store employees say he also broke at least two items.

Hansen was arrested and lodged in the Montcalm County Jail. The case remains under investigation with concerns that he may have committed similar thefts in neighboring communities.
