The second man sought in connection with several commercial burglaries in Chemung County was arrested Friday morning in Nevada, according to police.
Jeremy J. Cade, 27, was arrested early Friday by the Washoe County Sheriff's Office in Reno, Nevada, according to Chemung County Sheriff Christopher Moss.
Deputies conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle driven by Cade on Interstate 80, police said. During the stop, Cade provided a false name to police. Officers charged him with misdemeanor traffic infractions and resisting arrest.
The Chemung County Sheriff's Office has an active arrest warrant charging Cade with third-degree burglary, Moss said. Another active warrant for Cade has been issued by New York State Parole.
Cade was being held Friday in the Washoe County Jail as a fugitive from justice, pending extradition back to New York State, police said.
The sheriff's office had been seeking Cade and another male, 17-year-old Joshua Cade, aka Jeremiah Phipps, in connection with several burglaries at area restaurants. The Elmira Police Department arrested Phipps on Wednesday.
Teen charged in string of burglaries spanning county
Elmira police specifically referenced the Jan. 13 burglary of Tag's in Big Flats in a release announcing Phipps' arrest on a third-degree burglary charge. Other locations, including Sugar and Spice in Horseheads and Burger King in Elmira, were broken into that day, and the Dunkin' Donuts and Arby's restaurants on the Miracle Mile were burglarized Jan. 25.
Commercial burglaries have also occurred in surrounding counties, which led to a meeting of law enforcement officers from Broome, Tioga, Chemung and Tompkins counties and New York state police in late January. At that time, police believed the incidents were connected and committed by the same people.
The investigation into local burglaries is continuing and further charges are anticipated, police said.
