Several vehicles on the street were found to have their dome lights illuminated, indicating doors were ajar. The officer saw a man come from behind a residence on a bicycle and immediately turn and go back when he saw the officer, according to a police report.
The officer tried to locate the person but was unsuccessful until finding the bicycle in the back parking lot of Kramer Elementary.
The man was later located in the backyard of a residence on West Sycamore Street.
The suspect attempted to run from police, but finally slowed down and said, “I’m done,” according to the police report.
