CHEHALIS – Chehalis police say a man who made the news<\/a> last night for calling 911 after he broke into a Portland area home to take a shower – and feared the arriving homeowner’s dogs outside the bathroom door – was picked up overnight at Wal-Mart.<\/p>\n

Timothy J. Chapek, 24, of Beaverton, Ore., pushed a loaded shopping cart out an emergency exit at Wal-Mart in Chehalis last night and began unloading almost $1,200 of merchandise into a stolen BMW, according to Chehalis police.<\/p>\n

Detective Sgt. Rick McNamara said officers called about 12:25 a.m. to the retailer on Northwest Louisiana Avenue found Chapek outside the garden center.<\/p>\n

“It was everything,” McNamara said about the stolen goods, listing off items such as stereo speakers, tools, clothing, “lots of clothing.”<\/p>\n

Chapek had also allegedly gone behind a counter and tried to get into a cash register, which upgraded his offense from shoplifting to burglary, for going into a place not open to the public, McNamara said.<\/p>\n

The “really nice, expensive, new” BMW was found to be stolen from a car dealership in Beaverton, McNamara said.<\/p>\n

The sergeant said Chapek had been booked for the incident in Portland, but was released from jail. He is currently in the Lewis County Jail, booked for second-degree burglary and possession of stolen property.<\/p>\n

The Oregonian reported last night<\/a> Chapek and the Portland homeowner both called 911 about 7 p.m. on Monday night; the 24-year-old reportedly confessed what he’d done in and said he feared the homeowner outside the bathroom door might have a gun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
