A Mesa high school could have been short one laptop after it was discovered a student at the school tried to steal it right out of a classroom — in the middle of the school day.
Currently on probation, 19-year-old Ismael Pesqueira was arrested yesterday after school officials at Career High School in Mesa discovered that he tried to steal a laptop by sticking it in a friends backpack.
The laptop is worth about $900.
School officials called police and Pesqueira was taken into custody.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
During his arrest, police learned that not only was Pesqueira on probation, but he also had several outstanding warrants out for his arrest.
The warrants, Mesa police say, were for drug related charges and hindering prosecution.
And now the kicker: when Pesqueira was arrested, police found a pipe they say was used for smoking weed.
Pesqueira was booked for theft and the outstanding warrants.
