A 28-year-old man ended his weekend visit with his 9-year-old son on Sunday by stealing his child's video game system and games.
Joseph Phillips then went to a nearby game buy-back store and sold his son's things for about a 10th of their value.
Phillips, 28, has been arrested on drug charges three times between 2006 and 2009.
Police say Phillips was visiting with his son at his ex-wife's home on Betty Lane when his ex-wife decided to go out and run some errands.
The woman told the police the value of the stolen goods were $1,070.
Phillips was taken to the Hamilton County Justice Center after being arrested Monday at his mother's house in Cleves.
He was in jail for only a short time before being processed out due to jail overcrowding.
Judge Ted Berry signed a warrant for his arrest after he failed to show up for his court arraignment Tuesday morning.
Phillips told them wouldn't be around because he said he was going to a Christian-based program, Teen Challenge USA which helps teens and adults with addictions.
