A man suspected of a crime in southwest Missouri is arrested in northwest Arkansas.
Anthony Turner, of Billings, is facing charges of first-degree burglary and stealing after he allegedly walked into a private area of the hospital and stole keys and patient records earlier this month from Cox South Medical Center in Springfield then stole a vehicle.
According to a recap of the probable cause statement posted by Ozarks First, Turner entered employee-only offices after hours and stole a folder containing patient records and keys to a company-owned Grand Cherokee from a desk in the administrative office.
When he was contacted by an employee and told to leave, Turner left with the folder with surveillance footage showing Turner driving the stolen Jeep out of the parking garage.
Turner was arrested in Boone County hours later following a report of reckless driving. The probable cause statement says he was arrested for theft, burglary, trespassing and obstructing governmental operations.
