Mauricio Reyes, 46, is being held in the Orange County jail. He is charged with kidnapping a 4-year old child and with burglary of an occupied residence. Investigators said they were able to track Reyes down through beer cans that were left behind at the scene.
Detectives say littering led to his arrest, had Reyes not discarded beer cans near the scene of the crime they wouldn’t have tracked him to a Publix shopping where he used a credit card to buy beer.
“The one thing that put this guy in jail is that he’s a litterbug. If he’d picked up his empties, we wouldn’t even have him right now,” said Detective Rich Mankewich at a press conference.
