Donny Romines, 44, is charged with aggravated assault, vandalism, theft, and possession of burglary tools for his admitted involvement in Wednesday’s attempted catalytic converter theft at Charlotte Heights Church of Christ, 6833 Old Charlotte Pike, and the May 27 actual catalytic converter theft at Madison Church of Christ, 106 Gallatin Pike N.
A member of Charlotte Heights stopped by the church yesterday morning when he saw Romines underneath the church van. When confronted, Romines ran off and the witness began following him until Romines threatened him with an electric saw to back off. He continued to follow Romines at a distance until West Precinct officers arrived and took him into custody.
During an interview with auto theft detectives, Romines also admitted to the catalytic converter theft at the Madison Church of Christ.
Romines remains jailed in lieu of $29,000 bond.
