A local man who was arrested just a few weeks ago on theft charges was arrested less than a month later on more charges of the same nature.

Michael Hatfield, 30, of Sarah Ann, was arrested in Logan County by West Virginia State Police Troopers E. McClung and G.D. Kuhn for grand larceny and breaking and entering on Oct. 24

According to his newest police report, on Oct. 24 the officers received a complaint from the victim in regard to an apparent burglary.

"The victim advised that someone had broken into the Hatfield and McCoy Museum located at Sarah Ann," the report states. "These officers gathered information to lead the officers to believe that the accused, Michael Hatfield, committed the act. The victim said that the items taken were valued at over $1,000."

Hatfield was taken into custody and was booked at the Southwestern Regional Jail at 6:40 p.m.

Local police tell The Logan Banner that Hatfield is a repeat and has been in and out of jail for theft and other charges for the past decade. Hatfield has been arrested 19 times since 1997 on a variety of charges.

Hatfield was arrested most recently on Sept. 26 by WVSP Trooper J.K. Harris for allegedly trying to steal a washing machine while he was apparently high on drugs.

According to that police report, on Sept. 26, troopers Harris and C.W. Seacrist responded to a call about a breaking and entering in the Sarah Ann area and the victim then told the troopers he caught caught Hatfield pushing the washing machine across his yard with a dolly.

The report said Hatfield admitted it to the officers.

Hatfield was reportedly observed to be staggering and had slurred speech.

The report said he admitted being under the influence of loratab and percocet.

Hatfield has also been arrested on various other charges over the last decade.
