A man police described as having an “extensive criminal history,” was arrested early Tuesday, after allegedly breaking into an army surplus store in Chico and fleeing with several rifles.
Authorities found 25-year-old Weston Davis hiding under a trailer in a used car lot next to the army-navy store.
Police believe Davis got inside by prying his way through the building’s roof.
At 3:32 a.m., a 911 caller reported hearing a burglar alarm going off as a man was seen running away with a haul of rifles. Davis, who was on bail pending a trial for a separate commercial burglary, was booked into the Butte County Jail on five additional charges.
