A Litchfield man was arrested in Hillsboro last week after allegedly attempting to steal from Dollar General.

Jeremy Uchtman, 21, was charged with retail theft and possession of a controlled substance.

According to Hillsboro Police Chief Randy Leetham, police responded to a call from Dollar General on Wednesday, Mar. 6 for a report of theft. When police arrived, Uchtman told officers that he had missed Valentines Day and he wanted to get something for his girlfriend.

While taken into custody, Uchtman was in possession of synthetic cannabis and a needle with a liquid inside. He told police that the needle contained Ice, which is also known as crystal methamphetamine. He was booked into the Montgomery County Jail.
