A man who lived with a woman in Holmes Beach was arrested on a warrant for the theft and pawn of her laptop and stereo.

David Vickers, 31, formerly of Apollo Beach, was arrested Aug. 30 on a warrant for grand theft, dealing in stolen property and defrauding a pawn broker, according to Holmes Beach police and court records.

Vickers was served with the warrant in the Manatee County jail, where he’d been held since his Aug. 24 arrest for driving in Holmes Beach on a revoked driver’s license.

The Holmes Beach woman reported the stolen stereo and laptop on Aug. 26 to the HBPD.

According to the report, she confronted Vickers after noticing the items missing and finding a water bottle with a pawn shop logo in her car. The report states Vickers admitted to the theft and pawn of the missing items.

HBPD Detective Sgt. Brian Hall confirmed the stereo and laptop were pawned and put a hold on the items.

Vickers’ court arraignment is set at 9 a.m. Friday, Sept. 29, at the Manatee County Judicial Center, 1051 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton.
