NAPLES, Fla. - Naples Police arrested a man accused of stealing 42 cents from a fountain at Coastland Center Mall in Naples, Monday morning.
According to the police report, someone spotted Laszlo Mujzer, 43, of Bonita Springs, taking change from from the water around 11:15 a.m.
The person contacted mall security, and the security officer called police. The mall's general manager, Glen Harrell, tells WINK News Mujzer was wading in the fountain for money.
The responding officer from the Naples Police Department found 42 cents in Mujzer's possession.
The mall security officer told NPD to prosecute and press charges against Mujzer. He is charged with petit theft under $100. His bond is set at $500.
Harrell denies the fact that Mujzer was arrested for stealing change from a fountain, instead, claiming Mujzer was arrested for having fake ID.
However, the incident report obtained by WINK News does not contain information about additional charges.
