According to the article, the suspect entered the armory through an open window, and then simply cut a hole in the roof of the arms room. Weird.

Oh, and one more thing. The author said the 16 stolen weapons had a total value of "more than $1000". $1000?

My guess is the $1000 is a floor to put in an initial charge of grand larceny.

[Tijeras_Slim]

That sounds like a legal distinction. More than $1000 = certain type of charge.

[wideawake]

Different jurisdictions have different standards for the monetary level of theft that distinguishes petty theft (a misdemeanour) from grand theft (a felony).

So this citation will either say "less than $1,000" or "more than $1,000" - as opposed to a more precise number.

Sorry, small correction in my post #1. The suspect entered the armory by breaking a glass window.

An alarm was triggered for a vault at the Army Reserve Center at 9:07 p.m. Saturday, according to an FBI affidavit. At 7:30 a.m. Sunday,...

Only 10 hours to answer the alarm?

There's a James Morales who committed a murder in Stockton, California.

There's another James Morales who's a repeat pedophile sex offender in Coeur d'Alene, Iowa.

Amazing what you can find out with Google.

Each weapon most likely has a value of over $1,000. Maybe multiple charges for theft & illegal weapon possession.

Did they recover all the weapons?

Arms Rooms must be constructed to conform with a set of physical security specifications. If this arms room met the standards, refitting all of the arms rooms, especially in facilities that do not have a 24 hour presence will have to be done. Big $

Hmmmmm. MS-13 + Al Quadea Weapons for Opium Program perhaps?

Just curious.

I won’t be checking the serial numbers on any Christmas presents you guys might want to leave at my doorstep. Just sayin’...

$1000 is the Felony level.................

.... Morales, who had been wearing a monitoring bracelet after he was charged with child rape back in May.

****************************************

Just curious ... what’s his immigration status? I didn’t see any reference to it in the article, not that the media would mention if he was illegal or something other than an American citizen.

The child rape thing points to islam.
