LEXINGTON, S.C. (WOLO) – A 33-year-old Columbia man allegedly broke into the Zorba’s Greek Restaurant on St. Andrews Road only to get caught inside a walk-in cooler after tripping a burglar alarm.
Authorities say Michael Davis, the would-be burglar, was arrested Monday morning and is charged with grand larceny, second degree burglary and possession of burglary tools.
“Deputies responded to the alarm and found a door pried open,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. “A K9 unit responded to sweep the building and the suspect gave up a short time later while hiding inside a cooler.”
Koon said deputies found cash on the suspect as well as tools used to break into the restaurant.
Davis was released from the Lexington County Detention Center after posting $66,000 bond.
