WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) -- A man who was interviewed on TV for wearing shorts during recent cold weather has been arrested on a theft charge after he was spotted by police.

"I think we have a warrant for that guy," investigator Alan Moore said after seeing Keith Walentowski's name flash across the screen.A television reporter was talking about the weather last week with Walentowski, a 30-year-old student at Old Dominion University in Norfolk. Walentowski said it didn't bother him because he's from Michigan.

Walentowski, based on a warrant issued last summer, allegedly stole an acquaintance's baseball cards, Moore said. Conviction of grand larceny carries up to 20 years in prison.
