Man charged with stealing $46,376 in gear from Dolphins during loss to Chiefs

Prosecutors in Missouri charged a man with stealing more than $46,376 in equipment from the Miami Dolphins during their wild-card loss to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in January.

Joseph Brown Sr. was charged with a Class C felony, according to court documents obtained by the Fox affiliate in Kansas City.

A Dolphins representative told police a truck containing equipment was broken into and media equipment and cold-weather gear were among the items taken.

Police tracked down Brown via security footage. Court documents indicate he already was under suspicion for a string of thefts. A search at Brown's home indicated he appeared to burn some of the evidence.

“I observed a Miami Dolphins logo and a ruminant of what appeared to be the word ‘video’ that had been partially burned, and additionally matching cold-weather gear in the ashes that had not burned,” Kansas City Police Detective Craig Leach said in an affidavit obtained by The Kansas City Star.
