Two arrested sleeping on stolen goods

Police in Monroe say a trail of pillows and backpacks led to two sleeping men who were arrested in a department store break-in.

MONROE — Police in Monroe say a trail of pillows and backpacks led to two sleeping men who were arrested in a department store break-in.

Twenty-five-year-old Kyle Buress and 27-year-old Allen Pierce have been charged with second-degree burglary. Both remained in jail Monday with bail set at $10,000.

Police spokeswoman Debbie Willis says a break-in was discovered July 9 at a Fred Meyer outlet on Highway 2.

A surveillance camera showed two people going from one storage container to another, and police followed a trail of cardboard and items from the containers to Burress and Pierce — one sleeping in a stolen hammock and the other on a pile of stolen pillows. Police took some photographs before waking and arresting the pair.

Willis says they apparently had been drinking and adds, "I'd say a lot of alcohol was involved."
