Man allegedly steals 'prisoner' T-shirt from jail

[May 06, 2009]  FRESNO, Calif. (AP) -- A 20-year-old man was locked up once again after being charged with stealing his prisoner T-shirt from a previous stint at the Fresno County Jail.

The man was arrested last week on suspicion of child abuse and possession of marijuana. After he was released from jail last Thursday, police said he nearly caused a collision while riding his bike.

Deputies then noticed that he was wearing a T-shirt with "prisoner" printed on the back. Police said the shirt was from the jail and he had concealed it under his clothing when he was released.

The man was then sent back to jail and booked on felony charges of receiving stolen property.
