MOUNT VERNON — The Knox County Grand Jury indicted a man from Marysville during its most recent session for allegedly stealing from the Lowe’s hardware store in Mount Vernon.
On or about Sept. 2, Keanu A. Williams allegedly committed theft, a fifth-degree felony, by stealing $1,099 worth of merchandise from the store, the indictment reads.
