Finley porch pirate put in irons

Benton County sheriff’s deputies have delivered an accused Finley porch pirate to prosecutors.

Andrew L. Witherrite, 24, of Finley, was arrested this week and deputies recovered a stolen item, according to the sheriff’s office Facebook.

Guided by tips from the public, deputies are still looking for the person driving the four-door Honda Accord he was riding in.

Investigators claim Witherrite stole packages from a home’s porch on the 25000 block of South Oak Street on Dec. 14. They included a vintage $300 bracelet and a LEGO school bus.

Public records show Witherrite lives about a mile down the street. He was booked into the Benton County jail on suspicion of third-degree theft.
