LOWELL, MI -- Police say a Belding man didn't flee for long before he was arrested for allegedly stealing a furnace from an outdoor display at Tractor Supply Company in Lowell.

An deputy with the Kent County Sheriff's Department arrested the suspect 10 minutes after he fled the store in vehicle.

Richard Yi Bignell, 34, took the furnace from the display as he was walking to his car at the store, located at 2111 West Main St., about 2:25 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 18, police said.

The electric Comfort Furnace is valued at $400.

He fled westbound on Main Street, police said. The Lowell Police Department notified area departments, and a Kent County Sheriff's deputy made a traffic stop about 2:35 p.m. at M-21 near Grand River Drive NE in Ada Township.

Bignell was arrested, and the furnace was recovered.

He was arraigned on Wednesday, Dec. 19, in 63rd District Court on charges of retail fraud for being a fourth time habitual offender.

Bignell remains lodged in the Kent County Jail with $5,000 bond.
