On Tuesday, Wichita police said Ricky Alderete, 45, was taken into custody earlier this month due to his connection to an unrelated case. He has a criminal record that includes burglary and theft, state correction department records show.

But, on Monday, Alderete was charged with the theft of the Robinson statue. It remains unclear how investigators ultimately came to the conclusion that Alderete was a suspect in the theft.

That b*st**d!

Police noted that evidence did not suggest that the crime was "hate-motivated." The suspect instead seemed to intended to sell the metal for scrap. Authorities added that more arrests would likely be made in the future.

How did these police officers get to become officers of the law? Play Doom and get a high score?
