Man arrested for breaking into home, taking a shower and stealing, Centralia Police say
A 41-year-old Minnesota man was arrested on suspicion of burglary Sunday in Centralia, according to police.
Police say he not only broke into a home in the 800 block of North Pearl Street about 6:30 p.m., but he took a shower there, then stole from the residence and a vehicle.
And then he made a mistake, according to police: He left some documents behind in the home that had his name on them. Police later found him in possession of some of the stolen items.
Hours earlier on Sunday, police had trespassed the man from a different residence in the 800 block of North Pearl Street. The man had entered the property through a front gate and was found in a side yard by the home owner.
The man was found a few blocks away and was “trespassed for life” from the property, according to Centralia police.
