A St. Joseph man has been charged in connection with a burglary at a Subway last month.

According to Capt. Jeff Wilson with the St. Joseph Police Department, 36-year-old Mark A. Sowell has been charged with 2nd degree burglary in reference to a burglary on Sept. 26, at Subway located at 6101 Lake Ave. Wilson said detective’s investigations have linked Sowell to several other burglaries in St. Joseph.

According to a probable cause statement, Sowell was captured on video attempting to gain entry to the back door of the business overnight. Sowell attempted to disable a camera before putting on a black mask that covered most of his face. He got into the business by throwing rocks and breaking a window. Sowell attempted to break into a safe and then left the building. He was later arrested at another burglary scene.

According to the probable cause statement, Sowell has three prior failure to appear arrests and a criminal history of domestic violence and other assault type crimes.

Sowell is jailed on $15,000 bond. An arraignment is scheduled for Friday.
