"Investigators determined that Jones had thrown rocks at a glass door to gain access to the building," said Farkas. "During a search, they found key fobs belonging to the dealership in his possession."

"In a nearby parking lot, officers located a vehicle that had been reported stolen out of Fort Collins," Farkas added. "A key fob recovered from Jones unlocked the stolen car, where officers found drug paraphernalia and additional key fobs believed to be linked to another dealership."

Farkas says it's believed the burglary may be connected to other incidents recently reported in Fort Collins, and they're working closely with Fort Collins Police on the investigation.

Jones was subsequently arrested and booked into the Laramie County Detention Center for felony burglary, felony property destruction, misdemeanor interference with a peace officer - no injury, felony possession of marijuana, felony burglary from a vehicle, and felony theft.

He's scheduled to make his initial appearance in Laramie County Circuit Court in front of Judge TJ Forwood on Monday, Nov. 10, at 10:15 a.m.

Please remember that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
