Sweater links man to meat slicer theft

SAN ANTONIO – A man accused of stealing an expensive meat slicer from a local pawn shop was tracked down with the help of a former classmate.

Police said Christopher Lopez, 27, is accused of stealing the slicer last month from Cash America Pawn on Southwest Military Drive.

A clerk at the pawn shop, a former high school classmate of Lopez's, recognized the accused thief and his sweater.

Police said Lopez's Facebook profile picture shows him wearing the same sweater that he wore during the theft.
