An Ellisville man, already accused of theft-related crimes in Crestwood, Glendale, and Ladue, now can add Creve Coeur to the list.
Creve Coeur Police said Justin Roux, 22, stole four rings from a home on Chatfield Place in Creve Coeur. The rings were valued at $7,700, according to a police report.
The owner had hired a gardening service to work on her residence at the time the rings were stolen, between May 24 and May 28. A detective discovered that Roux, who worked for the gardening service, had pawned the four rings.
The Creve Coeur detective was honored earlier for solving the case and locating much of the stolen jewelry.
Roux, of the 200 block of Clayton Oaks Drive in Ellisville, was charged Wednesday with felony stealing, a class C felony.
He also faces criminal charges of stealing items valued at more than $200,000 in four thefts in Ladue; stealing items valued at $15,600 in Crestwood; and receiving stolen items valued at $5,000 in Glendale theft. All items stolen in each case were jewelry or Sterling silver.
Bail for the Creve Coeur theft was set at $10,000.

Lisa, the guy must have personal issues -- gambling, dope, something. Otherwise, it's so lame if he has a solid background. How long did he expect his "winning" streak to last. I wonder if that girl he was busted with is the cause -- in her mug shot she was smirking and smiling as if nobody was gonna do a thing to her.
