Police said Shannon fit the description of a suspect in the unrelated theft case.

Shannon is facing a separate charge in connection with the shark heist. He is no stranger to criminal activity, however, with an extensive rap sheet that includes eight prior arrests.

Shannon was one of three people people captured on surveillance video stealing the shark using a stroller by disguising the shark as a baby.

So far, however, Shannon is the only person charged in connection with the theft.

The shark crime made headlines across the globe as many marveled at the bizarre nature of the theft.
