A Bryan man with 23 prior convictions in Brazos County district court…11 for felony theft with prior convictions…is back in jail. A College Station police officer in J.C. Penney’s investigating an unrelated theft last Thursday learned store employees were tracking another suspect. According to the arrest report, 33 year old Michael Lacharles Cole left the store with clothing and a bundle of plastic shopping bags, ran out to his car, and drove away. A second officer stopped Cole’s car near Allen Honda, made the arrest, and recovered the shopping bags, four pairs of shorts, and six t-shirts.
