A proactive patrol by Smiths Falls police has led to an arrest connected to a previous theft investigation.
Police say an officer was on patrol on January 14 when they located a person known to be wanted on outstanding charges. The suspect was arrested without incident.
As a result of the investigation, 40-year-old Brandee Dougherty is facing several charges. Police say she has been charged with one count of theft under $5,000, one count of disguise with intent, and three counts of failing to comply with a probation order.
