Suspect Arrested in Eddyville McDonald’s Theft Case
EDDYVILLE, Ky. — Deputy Josh Travis responded to a theft complaint at the Eddyville McDonald’s on August 6. A senior couple from Illinois had stopped for lunch at the restaurant around 12:30 p.m., when the woman accidentally left her purse draped over a chair.
Shortly after, a tall, white man and his young daughter entered the restaurant, arriving in a dark-colored Lincoln SUV. The man noticed the unattended purse, took it to the Playland area, and stole its contents. He later concealed a phone from the purse in the Playland tunnel before discarding the purse in a nearby bathroom trash can.
A social media post with pictures of the suspect was shared, and thanks to tips from the public, a positive identification was made. On August 13, law enforcement officers, including Deputy Travis, Deputy David Carroll, Chief Deputy Sam Adams, and Sheriff Brent White, conducted surveillance at a Kuttawa business. At approximately 5:13 p.m., the suspect, Adam P. Attia, 36, of Salem, was observed pulling up to the business in the same vehicle. After leaving the business, Attia was stopped on US 62 and taken into custody.
Attia was found in possession of illegal narcotics and several items of stolen property. He was charged with tampering with physical evidence, theft by unlawful taking, possession of controlled substances (methamphetamine and Suboxone), possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
At the time of his arrest, Attia was on probation in Crittenden and Marshall counties for theft-related felony convictions. He was lodged in the Crittenden County Detention Center. The investigation is ongoing. Authorities expressed gratitude for the public’s assistance in the case.
