On Wednesday, June 6, the Columbia Police Department reported that Jason Pattillo has been arrested for stealing approximately $25,000 worth of lumber over the course of a month from Mid-City Lumber. This report is inaccurate.
The lumber stolen was not taken from the Mid-City Lumber store, located at 4709 Paris Road as reported, but in fact, was lumber being stored by a contractor who was renting storage space at a facility owned by Mid-City Lumber and located at a different address on Paris Road.
No lumber or any other materials have been stolen from Mid-City Lumber at their 4709 Paris location or at any of their other operating stores in Jefferson City, Boonville or Sedalia.
