Police arrested a 41-year-old Madison man after officers say he tried to break into a West Mifflin Street building.
The driver contacted police after around 3:30 a.m. Sunday and told them he saw Michael Makar use a crowbar to open a building on the 100 block of West Mifflin Street, according to Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain.
DeSpain said officers stopped a bicyclist near the State Capitol with a 20-inch crowbar tucked into his pants and who matched the driver’s description.
Officers arrested Makar for attempted burglary, possession of burglary tools and damaging property.
Makar was previously convicted for burglary in 2005.
