26-year-old Alyssa Hunkele was taken into custody for theft on May 5th. On April 4th, Vashti McKinney purchased a new basketball hoop for her child and sold the old, used hoop to Hunkele on Facebook Marketplace for $30. McKinney told Hunkele where the used hoop was located and that she was not home when she arrived to pick it up. Video footage shows Hunkele exiting her car, walking to McKinney’s new hoop instead of the used one she purchased, and loading it into her vehicle instead. She then sent McKinney an additional $30 rather than returning McKinney’s new hoop. Hunkele was later detained for the occurrence.
