Police find burglar in trash bin

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - Police say they found a man who stole 10 pistols and six rifles from a Jacksonville gun store in the trash bin behind a Taco Bell.

When officers responded to a burglary at Shooters of Jacksonville early Sunday, they reported seeing a Ford Mustang pull away from the business quickly with its lights off. The Mustang eventually pulled into the Taco Bell parking lot where it crashed into a pole. A security guard saw the driver jump into a trash bin behind the restaurant, where police eventually caught the man.

Rodwick Jewing Dowston was charged with burglary, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and resisting arrest. No bond had been set.
