EPHRATA — A Moses Lake man was arrested Friday morning after burglarizing a home thanks to a watchful neighbor, according to a statement released by the Grant County Sheriff’s Office.
In a statement issued early Saturday, the GCSO said Brandon Cirame, 35, was taken into custody a little after 8 a.m. Friday when a resident on the 4300 block of Road E.9 NE saw him carrying an empty backpack and walking around a nearby unoccupied house. The neighbor then noticed Cirame leave the house with his backpack full, the statement said.
The neighbor, who was not named in the release, then called 911, grabbed a pistol and went to confront Cirame, the report said. As a result of the confrontation, Cirame dropped the backpack and walked away, the statement said, with GCSO deputies and Moses Lake Police officers arriving on scene shortly after and taking him into custody.
Cirame was booked into the Grant County Jail and has been charged with residential burglary and third-degree theft, the statement said.
