A Mountain Home man was arrested after he allegedly broke into a business in Marion County and a U.S Park Ranger patrol vehicle. Arrested following the incidents Friday night was 38-year-old James Charles Lutz who faces two felony and four misdemeanor charges.
Marion County Sheriff Clinton Evans says officers received a call of a business break-in at the Animal Clinic of the Ozarks in Flippin at 11:23. Responding officers found Lutz in the lobby of the business.
Heavy damage was reported to the business where Lutz had used a bench to break out the glass door to gain entry to the building.
During the investigation, officers learned Lutz had allegedly entered the park ranger vehicle about a half mile east of the business and taken a tactical vest and flashlight.
Lutz is charged with felony counts of commercial burglary and breaking or entering along with misdemeanor counts of criminal mischief in the 2nd degree, theft, resisting arrest and public intoxication. He is being held in the Marion County Jail on a $25,000 bond.
