A 20-year-old St. Louis man, Antione E. Brown, has been charged with a felony in the theft of a 2013 Nissan Armada in the evening of July 26-27 in Brentwood according to a police report.
The SUV was parked outside the victim’s house in the 90 block of Whitehall Court. The victim told police he was unsure if the vehicle had been locked, and said he might have left a key inside. The car was found abandoned two days later in Wildwood, at the scene of other thefts from cars.

Brown is being held on a $10,000 bond.
