When officers arrived, a man was located in the parking lot area of the business. The man was immediately detained by an officer while other officers checked the security of the business.
After the investigation was complete, the suspect, Hussein Jamal Muwonge, age 26, of Marshalltown, was arrested for burglarizing the business. Muwonge was charged with felony D third degree burglary, which is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $7,500 fine.
