A Salvation Army bell ringer is in custody after Madison police claim he stole the kettle he was collecting money in. Police arrested 57-year-old Kemple Garrett Senior yesterday after someone reported he left his post at Woodman’s on Gammon Road with the kettle.
Police say Garrett claimed he was taking the kettle back to the Salvation Army, but an employee for the organization says protocol is for it to remain at the ringer’s location.
