Bledsoe gets his bike back

From the Coeur d'Alene Police Department:

Coeur d'Alene Police responded to the 800 block of N. 22nd St. last Wednesday to contact a citizen who had possession of a stolen bike. The citizen, a 15-year-old male, said that at approximately 2 p.m. on Labor Day, a male known to him as Brandon Edgemon came to his house and asked his sister if she would "watch a bike for me because the police are looking for it."

The male's sister told him what happened, and he found the bicycle in the bushes across the street from his house. The 15-year-old said he locked the bicycle in his garage so Brandon could not get it. He said Brandon came back looking for it and got very upset at him when he could not have it back. The boy talked to his father about it and decided to call the police.

Officers responded to his residence and were able to determine the bicycle is the same one reported stolen by Drew Bledsoe on Labor Day.

Detectives were informed on Thursday that the bike had been recovered. They located Brandon C. Edgemon, 18 years of age from Coeur d'Alene, at the jail. Edgemon had been taken into custody on Labor Day for a warrant on a different charge. Detectives charged him with grand theft of the bicycle and he is being held on those charges.

Officers contacted Bledsoe and made arrangements to return his bike to him. The bike did not appear to be damaged.
