LAS CRUCES, NM- A modern-day Goldilocks has been criminally cited after police say he broke into someone's home.
The homeowner discovered his door had been kicked in according to police reports. In addition to footprints, the suspect had left behind a Walmart bag containing empty beer cans, an empty Hot Pockets box, a half-empty Sprite, an empty box of condoms and, most importantly, a receipt. The man's microwave was visibly dirty, from the suspect heating up the Hot Pockets, and it appeared the suspect had consumed several of the homeowners Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers and stabbed two walls with a knife.
Armed with the Walmart receipt, police obtained store video of the transaction in question, which showed the teen — wearing a gray tank top, blue-striped shorts and white shoes and accompanied by a Hispanic female — purchasing the Hot Pockets, Sprite and bottled water.
The teen, who lives just around the corner, was spotted in the area soon after wearing the same clothing seen in the video and detained. Police seized his shoes for evidence. He was cited for breaking and entering and released to the custody of his mother. Police allegedly found the 16-year-old with two bags of marijuana — one in between his butt cheeks — and he was cited for that as well.
