Associated Press affiliate KTAR-FM reports

[...] after 25-year-old Xavier Moran was involved in a crash on April 5, he told a sheriff's deputy he had been cut off by another driver and could prove it with his dashboard camera. He then signed a consent waiver to search the camera.

When the Palm Beach County Sheriff's deputy reviewed the footage, he saw Moran burglarizing a beauty store. Authorities say the video showed Moran taking a baseball bat from the trunk and someone using the bat to break the glass door to the store.

He was arrested [April 10] on burglary charges.

Boing Boing further reports that the guy just can't stay out of trouble.

I first heard the story via NPR's "news" quiz show "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me".

    It depends upon what the meaning of the word 'is' is.
