Officials said the boys were initially thrilled with their electric-powered scooters. One boy had saved his own money to buy his scooter, while the other received his as a Christmas gift. The theft gained significant attention on social media, raising concerns that the scooters might be disposed of before they could be recovered.

Officials, working alongside the Morgan City Police Department, obtained a warrant for Clark and he was apprehended at 6:44 p.m. There was no information released regarding Clark’s bail.

Today, officials said they have recovered the scooters, much to the relief of the boys and their families.
