On
December 7, Ira Lamborn, 22, of Clinton, was arrested and charged
with second-degree burglary after allegedly breaking into a local
liquor store.
According
to a probable cause affidavit by the Clinton Police Department, the
incident occurred in the early hours of December 3. Around 2 a.m.,
police responded to an alarm at 7 Days Liquor, located at 1221 West
Gary Blvd. Upon arrival, officers discovered the store’s front
glass door shattered, with a large cement block inside near the
entrance and the alarm blaring.
After
searching the building and finding no one inside, officers contacted
the store owner at approximately 2:10 a.m. The owner reported that
several items had been stolen, including a 1.75-liter bottle of
Patrón valued at $140, two 750-milliliter bottles of Código 1530
priced at $68 each, and two 750-milliliter bottles of Herradura, each
worth $55. The total loss amounted to $386.
Security
footage from the store showed a suspect described as a white male
wearing a red flannel coat, black hoodie, khaki pants, and black
shoes. The suspect, identified as Lamborn from prior interactions,
was seen on video using a cement block to smash the glass door,
entering the store, and stealing the items.
The
store owner estimated the cost of repairing the damaged door at $425.
A
warrant for Lamborn’s arrest was issued, and he was taken into
custody on December 7.
