At about 2 a.m. police saw two men walking on East Third Street, one carrying a backpack. As police got closer, the man with the backpack took off running through several backyard and dropped the bag, according to a police report.
That man, who was later identified as Skapik, jumped over one 6-foot fence, but an officer caught up with him before he could jump another. He was handcuffed and police found he had gloves, a flashlight and a screwdriver in his possession.
They recovered his backpack and found it contained a portable DVD player, headphones, CDs, an Xbox video game, 5 Blu-ray movies and some cigarettes.
Police are looking into whether those items could be stolen.
