Duff was charged with criminal mischief Nov. 5 after the police were called to Wal-Mart. He was cited for disturbing the peace.

The next day, Wal-Mart told police they found evidence that Duffy took alcohol off the shelf and drank it inside the store, without paying for it. By that time, Duffy was out of jail.

He remained on the loose until Monday, when an officer found him at a house in the 2300 block of W. 15th and arrested him for theft by shoplifting. It is Duffy’s third arrest for shoplifting, which makes it a felony.

Duffy was taken to the county jail, where the new charge was added to his record, and he was processed and released.

Duffy has prior arrests for disturbing the peace, driving under the influence and contempt of court.

Another one slipping through the cracks. Mental illness is a big problem.

If that's the case then I hope he has someone fighting for him in his corner requesting that he attend rehab and get some help that he needs. And if he has some issues with brain damage there could be medical reasoning behind him doing what he does. I worked with a young man one time that had traumatic brain injury and he did all sorts of off the wall things like stealing cars etc. etc. So if that's the case I hope he gets the help he needs.

It isn't that he doesn't know any better, it's that he's an alcoholic. Perhaps society would be well-served if he was ordered to treatment and a couple years of strictly supervised probation. Jail isn't going to change him any.
