Police arrested a suspected burglar Friday after following his shoeprints in the snow.
Guy William Stephens, 31, was arrested after he led police on an early morning foot chase through a northeast Hermiston neighborhood.
Officers responded to a report of stolen items at about 6:20 a.m. Friday. They discovered someone had stolen a driverâs license and baseball cap from a parked vehicle, then noticed snowy footprints leading from the scene.
They followed the prints to a storage shed at another residence where they learned their suspect had stolen a cooler and alcohol from a second storage shed. The trail led them to another home where approximately $1,000 in tools was stolen from yet another storage shed.
