A suspected burglar was found sleeping at St. Maryâs Catholic School Monday, police said.
Sandy Whitfield, 38, of Temple, was arrested after officers responded to a burglary call shortly after 8 a.m. Monday at the campus, 1019 S. Seventh St.
Officers observed Whitfield lying on two couches inside the school gym, Temple police spokeswoman Alejandra Arreguin said.
âOfficers woke up Whitfield and placed him into handcuffs,â she said.
Police found food items Whitfield had eaten as well as cash believed to come from the schoolâs petty-cash drawer.
Whitfield told police he entered the building through an unlocked door, consumed chips, candy and a soda from the concession stand but did not take any cash.
