Chesterfield Township Officers met the man at this location and began talking to residents inside the apartment complex. During the Officer’s investigation, one of the apartment doors was answered by a 44 year old female resident.

Under Martel Lothery’s bed, Officers located the (4) stolen textbooks and Martel Lothery was placed under arrest. Officers were unable to locate the stolen laptop at this time.

Martel Lothery was questioned by Detectives and at this time the investigation is ongoing as they attempt to determine the identity of the 2nd suspect, the location of the stolen laptop, and whether or not these men may be responsible for several other vehicle break-ins recently in the area.
