An arrest has been made in connection with the burglary of Tia’s Tacos. Cory Andrew Roberson, 21, of Friday Harbor, is facing charges of burglary in the second degree and violation of the uniform controlled substance act – possession of methamphetamine. His bail is set at $10,000.

On Aug. 19, a deputy picked up Roberson, who had a previous warrant for his arrest. He was also found at that time to be in possession of methamphetamine.

While booking Roberson, the deputy observed an iPad that matched the description of one stolen from Tia’s Tacos on Aug. 16. The daughter of the owner of Tia’s happened to be in the sheriff’s office lobby and was able to positively identify that the iPad had been taken from the dining establishment.

According to court documents, Roberson confessed that he had entered Tia’s Tacos in the early morning hours of Aug. 16 through an unlocked door. He said he located an iPad, iPod, checks and two bank bags with cash. He told officers he walked out with $5,500 in cash.

Roberson’s arraignment is scheduled for Sept. 4.
