Man accused of stealing copper, wire and AC parts in downtown St. Louis

A 35-year-old man faces felony charges for stealing scrap copper, wire, and air conditioning parts from a building in Downtown St. Louis. Separately, 42-year-old Thomas Jardon appeared in bond court on Thursday. Prosecutors allege that Jardon, while employed by Citrus, approved fraudulent invoices to steal funds intended for the homeless. Both cases involve significant theft allegations, with the St. Louis suspect facing felony counts and Jardon addressing the court regarding the misappropriation of charitable resources.
