Fox News
Police in Wichita, Kansas, say a man who was already in custody has been charged in the theft of a bronze statue of Jackie Robinson that was later found dismantled and burned.
But, on Monday, Alderete was charged with the theft of the Robinson statue. It remains unclear how investigators ultimately came to the conclusion that Alderete was a suspect in the theft. Chantz Martin is a sports writer for Fox News Digital.
Police noted that evidence did not suggest that the crime was "hate-motivated." The suspect instead seemed to intended to sell the metal for scrap. Authorities added that more arrests would likely be made in the future.
