The teen was identified as 15-year-old Zachary Busenbark, who broke into a home just a few days ago stole a revolver. Officers were responding to that call when they received several other reports of vehicles being burglarized in the parking lot of a nearby Hooters restaurant. A total of four vehicles were broken into, one of which had a handgun stolen out of it.
When police arrived at the scene, they were able to find Busenbark hiding in some bushes. He took off running, but police were able to catch up to him and arrest him for his crimes. Both guns were found and returning to their rightful owners.
Now, Busenbark is facing several felony charges of armed burglary, grand theft of a firearm, vehicle burglary, and resisting a law enforcement officer. Police say that, last month, he was also arrested twice in two days for various crimes.
Lee County Burglary Laws
Burglary is a crime that is not only extremely serious, but difficult to defend against at times. Some individuals might find that they have very few options for bringing a defense, such as lacking the knowledge that the item was stolen, believing that you had the right to possess the item, and few others. This is made even more difficult to defend against when you are a juvenile and feel as if the system is working against you. In 2014 alone, there were one million juvenile arrests made in the U.S.If you are underage and you have been accused of a crime, you don’t want your future to be jeopardized, which is why it is important to turn to the trusted help of an attorney at this time.
