WINONA, Minn. – A homeless man who seems in perpetual trouble with police was caught tampering with a parked car in the 520 block of Wilson Street. A homeowner called police about 6:40 a.m. that his car had been entered overnight but nothing was missing. Police took notes and left. A little later the homeowner called again: Somebody was out there again going through the car. Police returned and found Bradly Steven Johnson, age 62, who they’ve come to know well. While officers were talking with Johnson, another neighbor came out and said her car too had been rifled overnight and some jewelry taken. The jewelry, police said, was in Johnson’s pocket. Police wrote a ticket that alleged receiving stolen property. Most of Johnson’s tickets have been for returning to shops from which he’ s been ordered not to come back. How many tickets? Nobody’s counting.
