MANISTEE TWP. — An 18-year-old Cadillac native was arrested this morning and charged with breaking into All Star Pay Day Loans on Parkdale Avenue.

Manistee County Sheriff’s Office deputies spotted the man, dressed in dark clothing, walking across the Burger King Restaurant parking lot at 3:43 a.m. today. During their investigation, they found he was carrying about $1,200 in cash and had placed duct tape on the bottoms of his shoes, which they said was in an effort to cover his shoe prints.

Police said the man then admitted breaking into the nearby All Star Pay Day Loans business. Entry was made to that business through the building’s east side door.

The man was arrested without incident, police said, and lodged at the Manistee County Jail for breaking and entering with intent, a 10-year felony.
