A 59-year-old Birmingham man has been charged and arrested in last month's theft of patio furniture from a Hoover restaurant.
Hoover police on Wednesday announced the arrest of Darryl Varner. He is charged with second-degree theft of property.
Authorities said investigators received a tip about Varner's identity after details about the theft were circulated on social media. They secured warrants against him on Friday and he turned himself in on Wednesday.
The theft happened between 10 p.m. Sunday and 2 a.m. Monday, March 23, at Tre Luna Bar and Kitchen on Brocks Gap Parkway, according to Hoover police. "We are heartbroken and sad to report that during the worst of times, the very worst in humanity will appear,'' the restaurant posted on Facebook. "Last night all of our outdoor seating (barstools and chairs and a table) were stolen."
According to police, the suspect was driving a black SUV – believed to be a Cadillac Escalade – and pulling a trailer. Surveillance cameras captured an image of the suspect, and the SUV which were then distributed to the media and posted to social media.
Varner will be transferred from the Hoover City Jail to the Jefferson County Jail. His bond is set at $7,500.
Police are still hoping to recover the stolen furniture and return it to the restaurant.
"This case represents more than just a theft,'' said Capt. Gregg Rector. "Our detectives take great pride in solving every case that they can."
"Our business owners and residents deserve our best effort and that's what they're going to get,'' he said. "We may sound like a broke record but we're just not going to tolerate criminal activity."
