Man charged with DQ heist

By Roger Estlack, Clarendon Enterprise

A Clarendon man is in the Donley County Jail this week after he allegedly stole $1,200 in cash from the local Dairy Queen.

Sheriff Butch Blackburn said an investigation of the March 14 crime resulted in the arrest of Christopher Harris, age 19, for burglary of a building and possession of marijuana.

Blackburn said Harris confessed to the crime and was being held in the jail on a $2,500 bond, but that bond was put on hold because the accused was already on probation on a charge of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
