A St. George man whose fingerprints police say connect him to a burglary in the city said he didn’t commit the crime because he was high on methamphetamine that day and doesn’t normally burglarize or steal while on meth.
Police met the man Dec. 18 — the day after the burglary — when they responded to a trespassing report, according to a probable cause statement signed Thursday. He allegedly had multiple stolen items on him, and he was arrested on suspicion of multiple counts of theft, drug possession and possessing fraudulent credit cards.
Since he fit the description of the burglary suspect, police questioned him about where he was the day of the burglary.
