WOODLAND, Calif. (AP) -- A homeless man accused of stealing a coronavirus test sample from a Northern California hospital has been rearrested days after he was released from jail under COVID-19 bail changes.
Yolo County prosecutors say Shaun Moore was released on zero bail after his arrest earlier this month for allegedly stealing the sample from a hospital in Davis.
That's under state rules that aimed to slow the spread of COVID-19 by keeping low-level offenders out of jail.
Authorities say Moore was rearrested on April 20 and accused of petty theft and misdemeanor sexual battery. It's unclear whether he has an attorney.
