PORT CHARLOTTE — A witness led a Charlotte County Sheriff’s deputy to a local couple suspected in a theft from a Dollar General store Friday, and the deputy subsequently wound up connecting those suspects to the Dec. 20 theft of a welder from a tractor-supply business, according to a CCSO report.

Arrested were: Christen Joy Dial, 31, and Jeffrey Scott Sabatinelli, 34, both of the 400 block of Strasburg Drive. Each was charged with grand theft in the theft of the welder. Sabatinelli’s bond was set at $2,500.
