Burglary alarm leads to arrest of transient in Port Angeles

PORT ANGELES — Clallam County Sheriff’s deputies arrested a 25-year-old Port Angeles transient after answering a burglar alarm at about 9 a.m. Monday at the Mount Angeles Memorial Cemetery, 45 Monroe Road.

According to a news release, Deputy Mike Backes was patrolling nearby and contacted a cemetery employee who said he’d seen a man wearing dark clothes and carrying a tool bag leave the building where the alarm had rung.

After a search, Deputy Paul Federline located Matthew Ennen, who Federline said admitted to breaking into the building and the adjacent Eastside Landscape Supply, 2532 E. U.S. Highway 101.

According to Federline, Ennen directed deputies to where the property — including tools and miscellaneous items — were hidden. All of the items were recovered.

Ennen was booked into the Clallam County jail on investigation of two counts of second-degree burglary, one count of third-degree theft, one count of vehicle prowl and one count of third-degree malicious mischief.

Ennen remained in jail Tuesday.
