PARKER — Authorities have arrested a Parker man on burglary charges after a homeowner allegedly caught him on a camera and identified him through social media, according to a Bay County Sheriff’s Office report.
BCSO responded to a home in Southport Sunday to a victim who said she saw a gray Dodge Durango driving by her home days before a burglary. She got out to see who it was and the driver raised a hand to cover his face and sped away. She felt it was suspicious since she lives at the end of a dead end road and placed a trail camera along her driveway.
The next day items in the home were misplaced, and other family members told her that about $50 in coins, an X-Box game console and several games were missing.
The victim examined the memory card from the trail camera and noted only two images on the camera. One was of a postal worker and the other of a white male she did not know walking toward the home. The victim posted the image on Facebook and received several comments identifying the white male as Mike Creamer.
A Parker Police officer later spotted Creamer sitting in his Dodge Durango outside a pizza restaurant on 23rd Street where he was taken to the Bay County Jail and charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling. Additional charges are expected, BCSO said.
