There was a second incident in Ohio which either Scooter (Fredland Goodman) or Chad Noureddine were arrested. They 2 thieves did it right in front of a surveillence camera, pretty stupid. With the first charge in Kentucky they got off with a $254 fine and 7 days in jail that was counted a s time served on a 90 day sentence . No idea what the second Ohio arrest got them, but the one repeat offender probablywill get a bigger charge in the 3-6 month category. No doubt they are out on bail and lawyered up, just stalling and awaiting sentencing. Hence why there is nothing further about the sentence.

North Ridgeville
By Michael Fitzpatrick
North Ridgeville police are wrapping up an investigation they say should result in charges against men they believe robbed a change machine at a local car wash.
Two men were captured on film stealing $800 from a change machine at the Wash Wizard car wash, 36360 Center Ridge Road, on June 11, according to Detective Patrick West. The men didn’t use a weapon in the crime, but instead used a tricked-out dollar bill they would insert into the machine and then pull back out after it had dispensed change.
“It’s a bill that has some apparatus attached to it so they can pull it back out after the machine has dispensed the coins,” West said.
In tracking down the thieves, West turned to the Internet. He also disseminated photos of the two men caught in the act by the car wash security cameras to media outlets in hopes someone would recognize the men and call police.
On a daily basis, West would sit down at his computer and search news stories on Google for similar crimes.
“Sure enough, we found one,” said West, of a car wash theft he came across in Frankfort, Ky., in early July, where four men were caught robbing a car wash there in the same manner as the one in North Ridgeville was victimized.
“We contacted the law enforcement agency in Kentucky, got their reports and the booking photo, and sure enough, it’s the same M.O. and one of the same individuals,” West said.
West compared the security photo snapped in North Ridgeville with the booking mug shots to match his suspect with one of the men arrested in Kentucky, although he wouldn’t identify which individual in the Kentucky crime he believes was involved in the theft here.
Charged in connection with the thefts in Frankfort were two men from northeast Ohio: Fredland Goodman, 29, of Cleveland, and Chad Noureddine, 22, of Parma. Goodman pleaded guilty to unlawful use of a slug and unlawful taking, both misdemeanors. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail with 83 days suspended provided he not commit similar crimes in Franklin County, Ky., and he stay out of Franklin County. He was also fined $254.
Noureddine also pleaded guilty to unlawful use of a slug and was sentenced to 90 days in jail with 83 suspended, provided he not commit a similar crime, and he was ordered to stay out of Franklin County. He was also fined $254, according to a spokesperson for the Franklin County District court.
West would not say which man – Goodman or Noureddine – was involved in the theft in North Ridgeville, but said one was. He said he knows the identity of the second individual, but not his current location. He did say he was getting ready to take the case to the Lorain County grand jury.
And while West’s use of Google helped him crack the case, he also received tips from the public after pictures of the two men caught on camera while committing the crime in North Ridgeville appeared in local papers and on local newscasts.
“We got some local tips, but we also got some tips from out of town that aided our investigation. The great thing about the Internet is, people anywhere can view them, and that’s part of what aided our investigation in identifying these people,” West said.
