Two men have been arrested for burglaries as a result of the Spokane Police Department’s Mission Emphasis Patrols.

 

Jeremy J. Warfield (43) was arrested at 1500 W. 3^rd Avenue around 3 p.m. for burglarizing a business closed due to the COVID-19 guidelines.

On March 29, 2020, around 3:00 p.m., officers performing the Mission Emphasis Patrol approach saw a male standing on the porch of a business at 1500 W. 3^rd Avenue. The business was closed in compliance with the COVID-19 restrictions. The male was standing behind a plywood barrier that was constructed on the stairway. The barrier had been posted, “No Trespassing.”

At about the same time the officers were driving by, a 911 call had been sent to the SPD Dispatch Center. The caller reported seeing a male at the business trying to kick in the door.

Officers made contact with Warfield who was now inside the business and trying to walk towards an exit door, away from the officers. Officers took Warfield into custody.

Officers saw a metal roll up door to the business had been pried open, then saw Delano inside the business. Officers took Delano into custody who had stolen merchandise in his possession. Officers discovered the alarm system had been destroyed in an apparent attempt to silence the alarm.
