The retail theft was captured on video surveillance.
Officers found Colnar in the parking lot, and he was in possession of the stolen bottle of wine. Colnar was placed into custody without incident.
In January, Colnar was the subject of a Joliet Patch crime story regarding his arrest by Joliet police at the Walmart store on Route 59. In that incident, Colnar put up a fight with Joliet police at the Route 59 Walmart property after officers found him intoxicated from drinking two boxes of wine he was keeping inside his coat pockets, the arrest reports show.
