Man arrested for marina burglary

A 38-year-old Marathon man was arrested Sunday for stealing approximately $500 in tools from the Marathon Marina & Boatyard.

Adolfo Antelo-Prieto was charged with burglary and resisting arrest.

More charges could be pending  as other burglaries in the area are under investigation.

The Sheriff’s Office responded to the marina on 11^th Street at 11:30 a.m. Saturday. A marina employee stated she confronted the suspect, later identified as Antelo-Prieto, and he dropped some tools before fleeing on a bicycle. That witness gave Deputy Paul McNalley a description of the suspect.

The suspect was then seen on security video returning to the shop about 9:42 p.m. that same night and is seen taking the same tools he dropped earlier.

Sgt. Christian Kellenberger was in the Ocean Breeze Trailer Park on 15^th Street at 9:23 a.m. Sunday when he saw a bicycle matching the description of the suspect bicycle. Sgt. Kellenberger as well as Deputies McNalley and Darrel Walraven knocked on a nearby trailer and then heard a commotion. A male, matching the description of the suspect, was seen climbing on the roof of the trailer. He ignored commands to stop and jumped over a barbed wire fence onto Galway Bay Mobile Home Park property.

The suspect was then taken into custody by Deputy William Daniels who also responded.

When questioned, Antelo-Prieto stated it was he in the security video taken at the marina. The marina employee also identified Antelo-Prieto as the suspect.

Antelo-Prieto was taken to jail.
