Charleston, s.c. (ap) — Police in South Carolina were able to nab a burglary suspect when they tied gelato in his possession to the same Italian-style ice cream that had been stolen from a store.

The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that Charleston police responded to a report of a string of vandalisms at 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Officers found shattered glass at eight buildings on the street and four more on a street nearby.

Around 1 a.m., police found 20-year-old Robert Corbit Hodges nearby. He was drunk, bleeding and carrying a container of gelato.

Investigators determined the gelato had been taken from one of the targeted stores.

Hodges was arrested on charges of second-degree burglary and public intoxication. It’s unclear if he has an attorney.
