Investigators were able to place him inside the business at the time of the burglary and at the site where the truck was found, according to the ECSO.Lewis, 39, is now held without bond at the Escambia County Jail, charged with burglary, vehicle theft, criminal mischief, larceny, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and obstruction of justice.
