Man captured after escaping postal inspector
A Chicago man is facing mail theft and burglary charges after police arrested him near the Magnificent Mile. According to CWBChicago, Dalvin Lockhart already has another active mail theft and burglary case pending, and a warrant was out for his arrest because he stopped showing up for court.
Lockhart escaped from a U.S. Postal Inspector who tried to arrest him. Chicago cops responded to assist the inspector and had no trouble identifying Lockhart when they saw him because he had handcuffs dangling from one wrist.
Lockhart allegedly gave the police a fake ID and police said he had 52 credit cards, two counterfeit arrow keys, mail, bank checks and counterfeit currency.
