A Gallatin Gateway man was charged with burglary and criminal possession of dangerous drugs after being discovered at a Bozeman building under construction.
Bozeman police responded to a report of burglary at 1:21 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 13, at a building on 7th Avenue, according to court records. The owner, who had access to an onsite camera, said that a man in dark clothes with a backpack appeared to be searching through the building and was attempting to steal a computer. He said no one was supposed to be inside the building at that time.
Officers identified the man as he exited the building on the northwest side of the ground floor and took him into custody. A search revealed he was carrying a small Ziplock baggie containing a white, crystalline substance that tested presumptively positive for methamphetamine.
