LINCOLNTON -- City police arrest a Lincolnton man after he exhibits unusual behavior at a busy gas station, then goes down the street and causes a disturbance at a fast-food restaurant.

Officer Billy Burgin responded to the V&B Food Mart around 5:15 p.m. Monday and spoke to a female victim.

She told him that a white male -- later identified as Jimmy Franklin Walker, 60 -- simply got into the passenger side of her vehicle and started going through her things.

The woman came out of the store and yelled at the suspect, who then walked away towards downtown Lincolnton on East Main Street.

Burgin began investigating the incident when he received a call of a disturbance at Hardee's.

The description the witness at V&B Food Mart and Hardees matched, so Burgin responded to find Walker drunk.

The incident report indicated Walker was inside the restaurant, causing a disturbance.

Burgin retrieved Walker and took him back to the convenience store, where the woman positively identified Walker.

After the stop at the convenience store, the next stop for Walker was the Harven A. Crouse Detention Center. Burgin charged him with breaking and entering a motor vehicle. Bond for Walker was set at $5,000 secured.
