    @Curious ….. If you’d take the time to read, you would have discovered that “He also had additional warrants outstanding for theft of property third degree, criminal mischief third degree, and criminal trespassing third degree.”

    “The headline makes it sound like he was wanted for something other riding his bike without lights.”

    Then it must be a well written headline. Read the story carefully.
