A Chesterfield freshman was arrested on multiple charges of larceny from a building at Wayside Central.

Bar staff gave information to the Mount Pleasant Police Department who identified Kenntel Watson as the suspect. Watson was taking cell phones from customers at the bar on Oct. 14.

Jeff Browne, MPPD public information officer, said staff members contacted officers who apprehended Watson at the McDonalds on Broomfield Street. 

When officers found Watson, he had four cellphones in his possession that belonged to other people. 

The Mount Pleasant Police Department was investigating incidents of pick-pocketing at the Wayside Central Bar after receiving pickpocketing reports last week.

Watson was taken into custody for possession of stolen property and larceny from a building. He is also charged with one count of receiving and concealing stolen property, four counts of larceny in a building, and one count of minor in possession of alcohol.

Watson is currently lodged at the Isabella County Jail and is being held on $35,000 a bond. MPPD returned the stolen phones to their owners.

Watson is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday at 8:15 a.m. at the Isabella County Trial Court.
