The Dalton Police Department is looking for a man who wanted to smell nice, really bad.

The man allegedly stole more than $200 worth of cologne from Kohl’s on Shugart Road, September 9.

A dark-skinned man with close-cropped dark hair and a trimmed beard wearing a black t-shirt and blue jeans with white sneakers and black shoelaces removed boxes of cologne from a shelf before taking the bottles out of the boxes, removing the security tag, and putting the bottles in his pants.

The suspect drove away in a maroon colored van, with $222 worth of cologne.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to please contact Officer Matthew Ray at 706-278-9085, extension 9153 or by email at mray@cityofdalton-ga.gov.
