As it turns out, a 5-month-old Labrador/pit bull puppy named Chewy might have never been stolen during a robbery on July 16.
A 21-year-old man was riding on the sidewalk in the 300 block of North 50th Street around 11:45 p.m. when a car pulled up and a couple of men got out and robbed him, police said.
Officer Jeri Roeder said the alleged robber, 34-year-old Jeremy Stodola, knew the victim and had been hanging out with him prior to the robbery.Â

Stodola is accused of taking the man's purple-and-yellow BMX-style bike with yellow spokes, his cellphone and cash.
Also missing was Chewy. Police and the victim believed the puppy had been stolen during the incident. But on Tuesday, Officer Angela Sands said Chewy was safely returned home.Â
She said it appears the puppy ran off during the initial incident and a neighbor found him, and later returned him home.
