LABELLE, FL. -- In the early morning hours on Friday, Hendry County Sheriff’s Office was advised of a commercial alarm occurring at K&M Pharmacy, located at 149 Hickpochee Ave. within the City limits of Labelle.
When deputies arrived, they found that a windowpane had been broken. It was discovered that the subject had reached through the broken glass, allowing him access into the entire of the building.
Once inside, a search of the building was completed, and no one was located inside the business. Hendry County K9 Deputies arrived on scene and assisted with the entire search of the building and were able to track the suspect a short distance east of the business.
Upon the arrival of business staff, they were able to access both inside and outside video footage. Deputies were able to identify the suspect as 26-year-old Damian Marc Strickland of LaBelle.
Hendry County Investigators responded to the home of the suspect where they found him sitting in a vehicle parked in the driveway wearing the same clothing as that of the suspect. Strickland was also identified by a unique tattoo on the right side of his neck. Strickland was taken into custody and transported to a Hendry County Facility for questioning.
It was determined that Strickland did in fact break the window and accessed the inside of the store where he took a candy bar, can of coke and a pair of sunglasses, which he was wearing at the time of his arrest.
Strickland is charged with Petit Theft, Burglary to an Unoccupied Building and Felony Criminal Mischief. He is being held at Hendry County Jail with no bond.
