When Boynton Beach police arrested Anthony Gallo on a drug-related crime Tuesday, they say they also found the man who stole $2,200 worth of goods from a Jupiter home more than a year ago. <\/p>\n
Gallo had left blood and fingerprints behind during last year's break-in, enabling authorities to link him to the 2013 burglary, according to Jupiter police. <\/p>\n
In last year's incident, Jupiter police arrived at the house after a reported burglary was called in. The report said that officers at the scene found blood around a shattered window. <\/p>\n
One of the residents of the house told officers that a laptop, cuff links, a Cartier watchband and pills from two bottles of Xanax were missing, the report said. <\/p>\n
Blood, fingerprints on pieces of broken glass from the window, as well as hair, were left behind. The evidence was sent to a lab for DNA testing. <\/p>\n
On March 14, the lab sent a completed analysis back to the police department, which matched the DNA left at the home to Gallo, the report said. <\/p>\n
Officers said they couldn't locate Gallo at his last known address. The report also said his brother and sister-and-law told officers they hadn't seen Gallo in a year. <\/p>\n
That changed on Tuesday when an officer patrolling the Boynton Beach Mall saw Gallo sitting on a bench inside the mall sorting through a bottle of various sized prescription pills. Officers said he didn't have a valid prescription for the pills. <\/p>\n
Gallo's name was flagged after he was arrested Tuesday. According to the arrest report, officers found that there was an outstanding warrant for the 29-year-old's arrest on burglary and grand theft charges. <\/p>\n
Gallo is being held in the Palm Beach County jail in exchange for $20,000 bail on counts of possession of a controlled substance without a prescription, burglary and grand theft. <\/p>\n
