A man is behind bars after police say he admitted to breaking into a building on the city’s north side.
What he told officers when they arrived raised a few eyebrows: “This is my third time, I just came for the TVs.”

According to court documents, Devin Burgess was arrested around 11:28 p.m. on June 22 after officers responded to a burglary call.
When officers arrived, Burgess reportedly told them, “I can’t believe y’all got here quick. How did y’all know I was here? Y’all finally caught me. This is my third time breaking in. I just came for the TVs this time. Hurry up and let’s go, I’m ready for my PR bond and I’ll be out quick.”
Police confirm there have been two other burglaries at that same location this month, on June 7 and June 12. Burgess has not been charged in connection with those earlier incidents at this time. Authorities are asking anyone who believes Burgess may be linked to other crimes in the area to come forward.
Records show Burgess was charged with felony criminal mischief and burglary of a building. His total bond was set at $20,000, and despite his comments, he was not granted a PR bond.
