The Miami County Sheriff's Office has charged a man with receiving stolen property.

Douglas Keechle, 31, of Clayton, is accused of 19 separate thefts from automobiles in Bethel, Elizabeth and Staunton Townships during November and December 2011.

Keechle and his attorney reached an agreement,  in which he cooperated with deputies in identifying the thefts he committed in Miami County, deputies said.

According to a report, Keechle was also involved in thefts in Clark, Greene and Montgomery counties. He admitted to having a cocaine problem, which led to him stealing, deputies said.

Keechle is being held in the Montgomery County Jail awaiting sentencing on several theft-related crimes and is expected to be sentenced to prison.
