TMS Security Guard Arrested
A former Texas Motor Speedway security guard surrendered to authorities in connection with the theft of a racing suit worn by the late NASCAR icon Dale Earnhardt Sr.
After Fort Worth police obtained an arrest warrant for him, James John Karl, 44, of North Richland Hills, went with his attorney Monday to the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office, where he posted a $1,500 bond and was released, police Lt. Dean Sullivan said Wednesday.
Police filed with Denton County prosecutors a charge of theft of $500 to $1,500, Sullivan said. The Class A misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail and a fine of up to $4,000.
The racing suit - worth between $50,000 and $100,000 - along with a helmet and shoes were stolen in November but were returned last week after Karl's attorney, Jeff Kennedy, contacted police.(fortwayne.com)
