Gelato leads police to burglary suspect
(FOX)- Police in South Carolina were able to nab a burglary suspect when they linked gelato in his possession to the same Italian-style ice cream that had been stolen from a store.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reports that Charleston police responded to a report of a string of vandalisms at 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. Officers found shattered glass at eight buildings on the street and four more on a street nearby.
Around 1 a.m., police found 20-year-old Robert Corbit Hodges nearby. He was drunk, bleeding and carrying a container of gelato.
Investigators determined the gelato had been taken from Burbages Grocery, one of the targeted businesses.
Hodges was arrested on charges of second-degree burglary and public intoxication.
