An affidavit shows deputies responded to the business on August 1st in reference to a burglary alarm that was triggered around 10:00 p.m.
Once at the scene, deputies noticed signs of entry and met with the owner who was able to access video surveillance.

The suspect stepped away to another door and then returned seconds later and appeared to use a tool to open the office door – eventually gaining entrance, and after several seconds, exited the office and building.
