BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. — Authorities arrested James Claussell early Monday morning on suspicion of larceny, according to a police report released online.
The arrest, documented under report number 423655, was published at 3:22 a.m. on Jan. 12, 2026. Mr. Claussell is described as a white male. No date of birth was listed. The report was filed by the Boynton Beach Police Department.
According to law enforcement, Claussell is suspected of committing “other theft,” a category under Florida law that generally refers to unlawfully taking property not covered by more specific theft classifications. Police did not provide details about the type of property allegedly stolen, its value, or the circumstances leading to the arrest.
Penalties for larceny in Florida vary depending on the value of the stolen property and the suspect’s criminal history, ranging from fines and probation to jail time. Authorities have not indicated whether formal charges have been filed or when Claussell is expected to appear in court.
Officials emphasized that an arrest is an allegation, not proof of guilt. Claussell is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The Boynton Beach Police Department said the investigation remains ongoing, and further updates will be released as the case progresses.
