5/7/07 -- Norman, OK - A University of Oklahoma student is captured by passersby, arrested and charged with a felony after allegedly stealing U.S. mail.
According to court records, Michael Eliot King, 26, was playing his own version of 'post office' in the 800 block of Fairway Drive on May 1st.
Witnesses in the area claim they saw King open a mailbox and "take 15-20 pieces of mail" (man, we thought we got alot of junk mail). King then allegedly placed the ill-gotten mail under his jacket and tried to leave the area. Unfortunately for King, the witnesses had other ideas and "pursued and apprehended" King and called police.
When police arrived they found the mail and glass pipe in King's jacket.
The next day, King was charged with felony burglary and receiving stolen property.
King was released after posting a $10,000 bond.
King's next court appearance is set for May 15th.
According to the university of Oklahoma Web site, King is listed as a freshman and resides in the 800 block of Cardan Place in Moore.
