Bail has been set for the man caught stealing from the Manitowoc Meijer store.
31-year-old Nicklaus J. Copus was given a $100 cash bond by Court Commissioner Patricia Koppa despite having a rap sheet that is three pages long on CCAP.
He was caught on camera taking a bike tire inner tube and a tire pump and was quickly located and arrested.
Copus currently has three open cases in Manitowoc County, including a previous retail theft incident and a meth possession case, and has also been convicted in numerous other cases dating back to 2010.
Since then, he has been convicted on four counts of Retail Theft, three counts of Theft of Movable Property, two counts each of Burglary, and Forgery, and single counts of Criminal Damage to Property, 3rd Degree Sexual Assault, Escaping a Criminal Arrest, Possession of Meth, Marijuana, and Drug Paraphernalia, and Fishing Without a License.
As of this morning, Copus has not furnished his bail.
He was ordered to have no contact with the Manitowoc Meijer store and is due back in court on October 13th for his initial appearance in Branch 1.
