He was seen driving a tan or gray Toyota Tundra TRD pickup truck that was carrying a ladder rack and a toolbox.
Using surveillance footage and the public's assistance, police identified a suspect and vehicle. An arrest warrant was then obtained.
A vehicle stop was conducted on April 25 for a Toyota Tundra. The driver of the vehicle, identified as Jordan Medeiros, 42, was arrested without incident.
