Fingerprints led to a man accused of stealing guns and ammo from the trunk of a police car.
A Nueces County jailer, who declined to provide her name, told The Associated Press that 27-year-old Jaime Jalomo was held Saturday without bond. Jail records did not identify an attorney for Jalomo, who was indicted Thursday on two counts of theft of a firearm.
Conviction is punishable by up to two years in state jail and a fine of $10,000.
Police recovered a semiautomatic rifle, handgun, Taser, keys and 40 rounds of ammunition that were stolen Feb. 8.
Jalomo on Feb. 9 had pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance and was sentenced to three years in prison.
