URBANA — A man who had been released from prison in Danville about midday Tuesday after serving a year for unlawful use of a credit card was back in custody five hours later for allegedly stealing alcohol in Champaign.

Champaign police Lt. Bruce Ramseyer said officers were sent at about 4:40 p.m. to the County Market, 331 E. Stoughton St., where a loss prevention officer was holding a man who reportedly stole two bottles of vodka, valued at $20 each.

The loss prevention officer saw the man leave the store without paying for the alcohol, followed him outside and ordered him to stop. At that time, the man ran and one of the bottles was broken as the officer caught him.

Ramseyer said the man gave police a name and a matching identification card, but officers who recognized him were having trouble placing the name.
