Two arrests made in separate theft cases

Two people were arrested Tuesday in connection with separate theft incidents in Morgan City, Police Chief James Blair said in a news release.

—Allie Arcement, 27, of Schriever, was arrested at 9:52 a.m. Tuesday on a warrant charging her with theft less than $1,000.

Arcement was placed under arrest at the Morgan City Police Department for an active warrant she held for the department. The warrant stems from an incident in June 2014, which alleges that Arcement had taken an item from a drug store without paying, Blair said. Arcement was jailed.

Collier was located in the area of Federal Avenue and Ellzey Street. A warrant check revealed that Collier held an active warrant for the Morgan City Police Department. The warrant stems from a Nov. 6 incident where Collier allegedly took items from a dollar store, Blair said. Collier was jailed.
