A Mayfield man was arrested and charged with several recent thefts from vehicles.

The Mayfield Police Department says officers arrested 40-year-old William Powers Thursday, after a recent investigation into thefts from vehicles. Police said they had video evidence of Powers stealing from vehicles, and they got a search warrant for a room at the motel where he was staying. 

During the search, numerous items reported stolen were recovered including a stereo, power tools, purses, computers, counterfeit twenty dollar bills, along with drug paraphernalia.
