Medford Police began looking for suspects after the La Placita on West Main was burglarized on Feb. 5. The suspects had entered the building through a piece of plywood that covered a hole left by an air conditioner unit. The suspects stole cell phones, watches, jewelry and other electronics.
Police were unable to identify a suspect from the surveillance video. However, they did get a tip and determined who their suspects were, according to a press release from the Medford Police Department.
One of the suspects, 30-year-old Daniel Ballard, was wanted on several warrants. Police began looking for him but couldn't find him.
On March 5, Medford Police received a tip that Ballard was on a Rogue Valley Transportation District bus.
Police found out which bus and stopped it on Riverside Avenue near Ohio Street.
However, Ballard was able to escape. When he got off the bus, he was able to get his bicycle.
An officer on scene tried to stop him by deploying his Taser; but the device was not effective.
Officers caught up with Ballard on Berrydale Avenue near Tablerock Road. The suspect complied with officers' orders and he was taken into custody.
Ballard was questioned and then arrested on the suspicion of burglary, aggravated theft and probation violation.
