According to court documents, New Orleans police first learned of the case April 6 when the sheriff's office in Selma put them in touch with someone who said they'd been in contact with a tipster. That tipster said the chair was being held at Tough Love Tattoos in New Orleans. Authorities went to the tattoo parlor and didn't find it but determined the chair had been there because the walls matched the walls in a photo provided through the tipster. Police got footage from a security camera outside the tattoo parlor. Through that, they say they identified three of six people putting the chair into a van as Stanley Pate, Kathryn Diionno, and Jason Warnick and arrested them on charges of possessing stolen property. According to an affidavit, Warnick told police he and Diionno, his girlfriend, owned the tattoo business. In Selma, the district attorney said he anticipates charging the trio with theft and extortion. Pate declined to comment on the case through his lawyer. An attorney speaking for Diionno and Warnick said they had nothing to do with the theft and called it a misunderstanding. The UDC has the chair back, but the group is unsure what to do with it. ?We are just going to have to deliberate on that,? Godwin said. In Selma, some people were curious about the theft or annoyed about the attention it brought. Sitting at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge that two of his uncles marched across on Bloody Sunday, Columbus Mitchell speculated that whoever took the chair might have been fighting ?for the cause? in their own way. But he questioned the effectiveness. ?I think at the end of the day, they may have given it more attention than it deserved by moving it,? he said. |
