A homeless man was arrested in downtown Perry Sunday morning allegedly in possession of a vehicle not his own.
Bradley John Little, 26, of no fixed abode was charged with operating a vehicle without the owner’s consent.

The officer responded and found Little in or around the vehicle, which had been moved from where its owner last parked it.
Little was cited and released in advance of an appearance in Dallas County District Court.
