Editor’s note: This article was updated after charges against another man were dismissed.

A Jamestown man has been jailed after allegedly stealing from the Warren and Corry Walmart stores.

Andrew J. Dzierzanowski, 41, of Jamestown faces charges of third-degree felony retail theft – taking merchandise, third-degree felony conspiracy – retail theft – taking merchandise; third-degree receiving stolen property and defiant trespass related to a March 15 incident as well as charges of retail theft – taking merchandise and flight to avoid apprehension relating to a November 2024 incident. He was jailed Sunday on $25,000 bail for the November incident and $100,000 for the March 15 incident.

Dzierzanowski was found in a booth in the Applebee’s restaurant in the plaza and identified by store employees. It’s alleged Dzierzanowski took 61 items valued at $1,689.36.

Online court documents don’t yet show charges filed in Erie County courts regarding the alleged Corry theft.

The second docket details a Nov. 15, 2024, incident in Warren involving Dzierzanowski. According to the affidavit of probable cause, a Conewango Township police officer was patrolling the Warren Walmart parking lot and saw a man pushing a cart full of unbagged items through the back of the parking lot. The officer contacted the store’s loss prevention employees, who said the man didn’t pay for $823.83 worth of items and pushed a cart out of the tire center doors into the parking lot.

“I attempted to go toward the male who had made his way to in front of the Dollar Tree,” the officer wrote in the second Affidavit of Probable Cause. “I made my way through the parking lot, the male abandoned the cart and ran off into the woods behind the Dollar Tree. The male was not located that night.”

Dzierzanowski was allegedly seen on surveillance and screenshot photos in the November incident.

Starting at $3.50/week.
