Columbus police say a local man used a stolen credit card and driver’s license to buy a stove Friday night.

An officer patrolling the parking lot at Menards on the west side of Columbus recognized 30-year-old Tyler J. Vandiver near a truck in the loading area. Vandiver was wanted on several warrants and the officer saw Vandiver go into the store.

The officer took Vandiver into custody and discovered Vandiver was allegedly carrying the fake credentials. The rightful owner said that his vehicle had been broken into and those items were stolen, says Lt. Matt Harris, spokesman for the Columbus police.

Other suspects who were with Vandiver allegedly fled, leaving the stove behind. And the truck was discovered abandoned in a nearby parking lot. Drug paraphernalia was also found inside, Harris said.

Vandiver is facing charges of theft, fraud and three Bartholomew County warrants.
