A Hamilton, Ohio, man was arrested by Brewer police Thursday on a warrant from Cincinnati police. Roger Rosenbaum, 33, was arrested shortly before 7 p.m. at Stacey’s Brewer Motel by Sgt. Lloyd Blanchard and Patrolman David Quimby and taken to Penobscot County Jail.

Blanchard said information was sketchy but that he was informed Rosenbaum was wanted on theft charges alleging that he failed to return $36,000 to a company where he works. According to Blanchard, apparently Rosenbaum did not return the money he had collected for distributing telephone book covers.

Brewer police were notified of the warrant by teletype. Blanchard said Cincinnati police knew where to find Rosenbaum as he had contacted his office Thursday indicating where he would be spending the night.

Extradition procedings would begin Friday morning, Blanchard said.
