An Evarts man faces a felony charge following an April 12 incident involving a car wash coin dispenser.

Thacker was lodged in the Harlan County Detention Center on a $5,000 full cash bond.

In other police activity:

According to the arrest warrant, Nathanial Howard states Lowe took various items including lawn furniture, a camcorder with charger, a Nintendo DS with charger and an estimated 70 boxes of shells from his home with the knowledge the items belonged to Howard.
