The incident was reported around 2:20 p.m. at Nova Armory (2300 N. Pershing Drive).
The man left before police arrived. He was later found but was referred to county social services and not charged with a crime.
A crime report (below) details the overnight burglary and break-in spree, during which the man accidentally woke up two residents while inside their homes and, at one point, apparently cut himself badly enough while trying to cut through a screen door that he left a blood trail.
The suspect did manage to steal “numerous items of value” in the process.
