Arrest Made in Theft and Destruction of Jackie Robinson Statue

A suspect, Ricky Alderete, has been arrested in connection with the theft and destruction of a bronze Jackie Robinson statue in Wichita, Kansas. The theft, which was not deemed to be "hate-motivated," was believed to be for the purpose of selling the metal for scrap. Additional arrests are expected, and the statue, valued at $75,000, is set to be replaced with the costs covered by Major League Baseball. Alderete faces charges including felony theft and aggravated criminal damage to property.
