A 35-year old man has been arrested on numerous charges including burglary.

Pittsburg police officers were dispatched to Pittsburg High School in reference to a burglary and criminal damage to the building. A school employee had arrived at the school around 6:40 a.m. and noticed water on the floor of the commons area. Police arrived on the scene and discovered that a fire hose had been used to spray the walls and floors of the gymnasium, causing significant damages. A review of surveillance footage revealed the suspect had entered the school and taken items from the concessions, used a water hose to spray areas inside the school, and stole a pair of shoes.

Later that day, the suspect was seen walking in downtown Pittsburg, wearing the same clothing he was wearing at the time of the burglary. Pittsburg Police Department detained the suspect who was identified as Shawn Allen Hoag. Hoag, who had just been released on parole a few days earlier, was arrested without incident for aggravated burglary, felony criminal damage, misdemeanor theft, and criminal trespass. He was booked into the Crawford County Jail where he is being held in lieu of a $25,000 bond.
