Officer Cook identified the suspect in the prior theft as OMAR AHMED HUSSEEN, [DOB REDACTED]. Officer Cook knew that HUSSEEN uses public bus transportation. Officer Wiethorn went to the transit stop and noticed a male suspect who matched the suspect make contact with her squad car, turn around to enter AMC theater.
