Bloomington police arrested 23-year-old Rodney Fonesca Wednesday evening for theft at Kohl’s department store.
A Kohl’s employee called police after watching Fonesca take cosmetic items and two men’s shirts into a dressing room and emerge with only the shirts.
The employee went into the dressing room, did not find the cosmetic items and watched Fonesca return to take more items. Fonesca attempted to steal a total of 11 cosmetic items, according to the police report.
After officers read Fonesca his Miranda Rights, Fonesca said this was not his first time stealing from Kohl’s. He said his previous attempts had been successful, according to the report. He said his intent in stealing the cosmetics was to sell them for money but that he also uses them for theater productions.
