Suspect in 23 drive-offs tells police he has 'layaway' agreement with gas station

MANITOWOC, Wis. (WLUK) – Police arrested a man for his 23rd gas drive-off from the same chain.

Karl Kinyon, 37, was arrested after an incident Monday at a convenience store on S. 10th Street, according to the police report.

Kinyon told police he has a “layaway system” with Kwik Trip, and was in a hurry on Monday. But he always pays for the gas “eventually,” the report states.

Kwik Trip estimates Kinyon owes for 14 of the 23 drive-offs, for a total of $803.90.

Police requested charges of retail theft and bail jumping, due to previous retail theft cases.
