MILTON, W.Va. (AP) - Police in West Virginia say a man stole a motorized wheelchair belonging to a disabled veteran.

The Huntington Herald-Dispatch reports 41-year-old Kevin Bradley Call, of Nitro, was arrested Sunday on charges including grand larceny. Milton police say the wheelchair was parked outside of the veteran’s apartment complex last week when it was taken.

Police posted on Facebook about the theft and the chair was returned the next day with minor damage. Police say officers continued investigating the theft and connected it to Call, who was staying at a garage in a nearby alley and said he was homeless.

Police on Sunday thanked the community for its outrage, which they said led to the return of the wheelchair and Call’s arrest. It’s unclear if Call has a lawyer.
