Metro officers left but were soon called back after staff members called to say Nelson had jumped a fence into the property and threatened to kill everybody inside the bus station, according to court documents.
During a consensual search of Nelson’s property, officers reportedly found multiple suspicious items, including an ID card. Officers soon learned the owner of the ID card had just called in to report a burglary at their home.
Officers viewed the burglary victim’s surveillance footage and saw Nelson exit and enter the property through an unlocked door while carrying a stolen laptop and multiple bags, according to Metro police.
