Robert Eugene Moorhead was taken into custody at 1:43 a.m. following an investigation into a break-in at the old airport off of Flint Road. The location had been burglarized the previous two nights and the latest incident was the third night.
A reporting party advised there was a vehicle and that the suspect went inside a hangar and then drove westbound on the runway. A deputy was able to get behind the suspect vehicle as it pulled onto Flint Road, and conducted a traffic stop.
Other deputies arrived on scene. The suspect, who was identified as Robert Moorhead, complied with verbal commands given. He was placed into cuffs and detained, the report states.
During the investigation, the reporting party was able to identify property found inside Moorhead's vehicle. The suspect admitted to stealing items from hangar six and explained that he was just trying to make extra money and that he's homeless.

During a search of the vehicle, officers recovered property stolen from the burglary that night but there wasn't property from the two other burglaries, the report states.
