Lemoore police officers arrested a suspect, 55-year-old Salvador Calderon of Salinas early Sunday morning (Jan. 19) after responding to a burglary alarm at the Lemoore Popeye’s restaurant on N. Lemoore Avenue.

Officers arrived on scene and located an unsecured back door. They heard suspicious sounds inside the restaurant and set up a perimeter outside the local fast-food establishment.

The business was supposed to be closed and there weren’t any vehicles signifying a delivery or a cleaning crew.  An officer, at the front of the business, observed an adult male inside near the front counter area.  The suspect was observed tampering with one of the front register’s computer systems. 

Officers, at the back door, ordered the suspect to surrender, but the suspect ignored commands.  Officers entered the business and took the suspect into custody without incident.  The suspect, Calderon, was subsequently arrested and booked into the Kings County Jail for burglary.  Calderon’s bail was set at $15,000 dollars.
