SIOUX CITY, (Iowa) – A Sioux City man was arrested and charged after multiple burglaries during the Memorial Day weekend.
According to a press release from the Woodbury County Sheriff’s Office, on May 27 several burglaries occurred in Sloan.
Due to the number of burglary scenes, additional patrol deputies and detectives were called in to investigate these crime scenes. The Sheriff’s Office also asked the public to help with any information leading towards the suspect.
The Sheriff’s Office eventually arrested Michael Lindgren, 49, in connection to these burglaries on June 4, according to the release.
Court documents allege that in the Sloan Tap, Lindgren intentionally caused damage and destruction of property by breaking out the west window to the front of the business and destroying a neon light by throwing a brick through the window. He also then destroyed an interior door and door frame to the basement by kicking it. The damages done are estimated to be $1,000.
Lindgren allegedly damaged the rear door to the Kings Closet to force the door open. He also intentionally caused damage to the cash register. The estimated damage amounted to $250.
In the Sloan Golf Course Clubhouse, Lindgren allegedly broke out the window to the east exterior door and damaged the cash register to gain access to its contents. Total damages are estimated at $300.
Damages were also caused at Goldie’s Auto Body, where Lindgren allegedly broke out a window to the south entry door. The total damages are estimated at $150.
Lindgren was arrested Tuesday and charged with one count of second-degree criminal mischief and four counts of third-degree burglary. He was booked into the Woodbury County Jail on a $20,000 bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 14 at 9 a.m.
All separate acts of criminal mischief at the four different locations will be counted as a single scheme, plan, or conspiracy, according to the Iowa Code. The damages for all four businesses are estimated at $1,700.
