Police say the man may be the same person who last week took money from the registers of two maybe three Jackson businesses. The man apparently had planned to till-tap, or grab money from the cash register, Broome said. That's apparently what happened at the other Jackson businesses Thursday, Broome said.

The Circle thief had the hood of a blue-and-white sweat shirt pulled over his head. He was wearing blue jeans and black Reebok tennis shoes, Broome said. He is about 5'11" and weighs about 180 pounds. been held without bond in the Claiborne County Jail. Clarence Whitaker, Polk's attorney, said he is challenging the tests on the grounds that genetic testing is a new science not yet fully developed.

Both Whitaker and District Attorney Frank Campbell plan to present expert witnesses at the 9 a.m. hearing. Circuit Judge Frank Vollor will preside. During the hearing, Campbell said, the state must prove that genetic testing is an acceptable scientific principle and, if so, that the correct testing procedure was followed in the case. Genetic, or DNA, testing compares genetic material found at a crime scene with a genetic material sample taken from a suspect.

For example, bodily fluids such as semen or blood found at the crime scene and believed to have come from the perpetrator are tested against a sample from the suspect. its would be printed on each check color. But Hesse said that won't work for postal money orders. "Most postal money orders are not cashed at post offices," he said.
