LITCHFIELD -- A suspect was arrested Saturday for allegedly committing two different burglaries in Litchfield.
The suspect, a 16-year-old male, faces pending burglary, assault and controlled substance charges, according to a press release from the Litchfield Police Department.
The Litchfield Police Department and Meeker County Sheriff's Office responded to a burglary alarm Saturday at a business on North Sibley Avenue.
The door of the building had reportedly been forced open and officers observed movement inside the business.
A short time later, the suspect exited the business and allegedly charged at a Meeker County deputy who was watching the door. After continuing to be combative with the deputy, he was eventually arrested, according to the press release.
