Oregon man accused of stealing bikes, goat

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Authorities suspect a Portland man accused of stealing two bicycles also took a dwarf goat. Police say the 18-year-old, Oleg Stepanovich Plyushchev, tried to sell bikes on Craigslist that had been stolen from a backyard and garage. Investigators say after Plyushchev's arrest Tuesday, detectives learned he was connected to the theft of a dwarf goat named Penelope that was taken from its owner's yard. The Oregonian reports the man had put Penelope on consignment sale in August at a farm supply store in Boring. Penelope was recovered by Clackamas County sheriff's deputies. Plyushchev was booked Tuesday on theft and computer crime charges. He was released Wednesday without bail pending a court appearance.
