Child neglect

Shelbyville authorities reported a possible case of child neglect Thursday on Templeton St.

The girl had to totally reclothe due to being soaked and was fed breakfast. The girl also told police she had not eaten the night before and a referral was made to the Department of Chidren Services on her behalf.

Thefts

* A warrent has been obtained for a man that apparently did not like the terms of a gift certificate.

Vickie Stewart at Bedford County Farmers Co-op told Shelbyville police a man came in Thursday to buy several items with a gift certificate. However, the cahsier told the man that the gift card was purchased two years ago, was only good for 90 days after purchase and he would have to pay for the items.

Instead, the man took the bag of items, left the store and got into a black Nissan pick-up. The person has been positively indentified and a warrent for his arrest has been obtained.
