West Paducah man arrested for allegedly burglarizing his former employer

A West Paducah man was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly burglarizing a former employer on multiple occasions.

Paducah Police arrested 27-year-old Nathan Cruse after he was reportedly identified on surveillance video breaking into Expressway Car Wash on Park Avenue. 

Expressway owner Evan Walker reported burglaries at his business on February 8th and again on Monday and Tuesday nights. Walker said that it appeared the subjects caught on video knew where things were in the business. During the third break-in on Tuesday night, the suspect looked directly into a camera and Walker reportedly identified the individual as Cruse. Walker said Cruse had been terminated several months before.

Cruse was questioned Wednesday by detectives and reportedly admitted to all three burglaries. Detectives reportedly found a crowbar used in one of the break-ins located in Cruse's car.

Cruse was charged with burglary, criminal mischief, and possession of a controlled substance.
