Man arrested for puppy burglary

Published 11:03am Tuesday, September 25, 2012

A 20-year-old man was arrested Monday afternoon for allegedly breaking into a trailer and stealing a black and white spaniel mix puppy.

A man called Fergus Falls police around 2:45 p.m., reporting that he observed Michael Wayne Williams break into his home at 1668 County Road 111. Williams allegedly kicked in a door and took a puppy from the residence.

Williams was located by police at a relative’s home. The puppy was recovered, and Williams was arrested for second degree burglary. Though police said Williams had past contact with the burglarized home’s resident (even staying at the address for a short time), Williams reportedly would not discuss his motivations with officers.
