Sgt. Lance Miller said police have successfully identified the person pictured to your right, in connection with a burglary last week.

Miller said he's officially a person of interest in the ensuing investigation.

Since the investigation is ongoing, Miller said police need to withhold information to use in the investigation, including the man's name.

This is what he can say:

The picture is taken at the gas station in the Marion Walmart's parking lot.

Police identified the man after someone who knew the man saw his picture that was released to local media.

Police have spoken to the man.

Miller said that he "anticipates something will happen" with the case soon.
