A man accused of breaking into a Kalispell business and stealing candy now faces a felony burglary charge in Flathead County District Court.
Joshua William Myers-Starks, 36, is expected to appear in court on Jan. 5 for his arraignment before Judge Dan Wilson. He remains in the county jail with bail set at $10,000.
Kalispell Police officers arrested Myers-Starks on Dec. 11 after responding to a possible break-in at a local tobacconist’s shop, according to court documents. During a subsequent search, authorities found Myers-Starks’ pockets filled with Dum-Dums, a brand of lollipop, court documents said.
Investigators, examining the smashed drive-thru window, concluded that Myers-Starks had broken the glass, reached inside and stolen the candies, court documents said.
Burglary is punishable by up to two decades in state prison and a $50,000 fine.
