Sterbach in the surveillance pictures, and he turned himself in when he learned he was the focus of the investigation.He was charged with two felony counts of stealing.Police said social media played a big role in the case. Many people shared the surveillance images on Facebook and other sites to help spread the word.\"I think any time you have a story like that people are always willing to share something that, number one, is valid, they know it came from a police department, it's not a hoax or anything,\" said Sgt. Chris Depue of the Lee's Summit Police Department. \"It makes people angry that people are stealing from charities.\"According to court documents, Sterbach allegedly told police that he has a crack addiction and took the containers to pay for crack.He said he got about $170 combined from the two Lee's Summit thefts.
