Fayetteville Man Tells Police He Broke Into Cars

FAYETTEVILLE -- A man was arrested after admitting to police he was breaking into cars, according to an arrest report.

Vincent Moore, 29, of 210 Samuels Place in Farmington was arrested Friday in connection with possession of a controlled substance, breaking into a vehicle, theft of property and misdemeanor failure to pay costs and fines and violation of probation or a suspended sentence.

Moore was breaking into a pickup at the Econo Lodge at 1000 S. Futrall Drive when a police officer drove into the parking lot, according to an arrest report.

The officer asked Moore what he was doing.

"I'll be honest with you, I was breaking into that car," Moore said, according to the report.
