Pawn Shop Owner Arrested

{Barbourville, Kentucky}...Forty-three year old Randy Hale, the owner of a pawn shop at the Vendor’s Mall in Barbourville, has been arrested and charged with receiving stolen property. Police say a theft victim found his stolen tiller at Hale's shop, and Hale refused to release the tiller back to the owner so the owner had to buy back his own property. State law requires pawn shops to keep record of all items they receive, but police say Hale failed to provide any information on how or when he got the stolen tiller.
