Wanted Auburnian arrested for burglary
An Auburn man wanted on an Auburn Police Department warrant for a 2004 burglary was arrested Wednesday.
Floyd L. Tillman, 49, of 37 Sheridan St., was arrested when Officer Michael Warter spotted him Wednesday, police said.
Tillman is accused of an Oct. 29 burglary in which residents heard a voice inside their home when they returned from being away. Tillman then was identified by the residents as being the culprit, police said.
The residents argued with Tillman over why he was in the home, and some VHS movies were found to have been stolen from the residence, police said.
