ALBANY -- Joshua David Hill, 22, who was wanted for stealing jewelry, was arrested at Monday Blackbeard's B&B Bar-B-Que Restaurant on the 2200 block of North Slappey Boulevard, according to Albany Police Department reports.

Hill's name, information and picture were published Feb. 24 in The Albany Herald as part of the weekly Albany Crime Stoppers Most Wanted list of fugitives. No information was immediately available as to whether Hill's arrest came from a Crime Stoppers tip.

Police Theft Unit investigators reportedly developed information that Hill had sold or pawned jewelry stolen from a home on the 1700 block of Lynwood Lane on Feb. 2.

Sonya Johnson, police spokeswoman, said, "He can be removed from the 'Most Wanted' list."

You mean you don’t care unless you want to white wash it. So just what do you call a Teacher who STEALS from a child's future? Your double talk is so sad.

Caught a little news driving to work th morning where a 15 year shot and killed a would be burgler. Unfortunitly a 2nd person got away. I do like to hear good news early in the morning.

I agree! It's good to see some of these thugs pay a price. We need more of this type good news.

Always happy to hear good news. For all of these burglars taking things that are not yours, we hope you get the same. Why don't you get an education and get a job? I suppose their parents did not teach them right from wrong and be positive examples. It is hard to understand why young people want to live like trash because there are so many opportunities in this world. Living a good morally clean life is easy if you want it to be.
