Officers saw surveillance video from the club's security system and gleaned a good physical description of the perpetrator, reports said. They later observed a man matching that description still nearby the club and arrested him without incident.

The man had the stolen property in his possession, reports said. Court records indicate a public defender was appointed Trimble's case.

It is unclear if Trimble is a suspect in any other recent vehicle break-ins the department is investigating.
