A 3 month man hunt has finally come to a conclusion, as Solon resident Bill Farthing, AKA “Binky Bandit” is finally in police custody and awaiting trial. Bill has caused more heart and head aches to Solon residents and police force than anyone in recent history. His elaborate scheme was to pose as an ice cream truck driver, wait until an unsuspecting parent let their guard down, and steal all of the binkies out of their child’s stroller. Bill was able to conduct his scheme for so long due to methodically changing routes, wearing disguises, and threatening to “bust your ass up if you snitch”. The police were able to build a strong case against Bill after finding all of the 267 binkies, buried in his neighbors backyard, covered in his DNA. More to come on this story as information is released.
