Investigators say Frank Sudduth, 23, stole jewelry and a laptop computer from a neighbor and later returned to the apartment later wearing a police T-shirt in an attempt to get the password to unlock the computer.
Police say Sudduth went to the victim's apartment and told her son that he was a security officer and needed the password so that a report could be filed and turned in to the management office.
Officers say Sudduth took the T-shirt from the closet of his roommate, who had recently been hired by the Kiefer Police Department.
