Police arrested 23 year old Mack Gibbs of 702 Kearns Street on a drunken and disorderly charge after a search of his home tied to a store break in at T. C. Lohr Service Station 621 N. Slain Street. Officers suspect Gibbs and a second suspect, with a broader city crime wave to be solved by linking the Gibbs case to more than a dozen recent break-ins. Additional evidence and developments were expected later as investigations continued.
