A man faces theft charges for doing more than just watching a local high school football practice.
A Whatcom County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson says 30-year-old Brandon Heggem stole nine cellphones from Meridian High School students while they were practicing last Thursday.
He also took a debit card and was found to have traded two of the phones before he was caught.
An additional domestic violence violation was tacked on because he was with a person who had a protection order against him when he was arrested.
