A man arrested earlier this month in connection with Taco Bell break-ins in Lexington, Kentucky, is a prime suspect from a similar break-in in Ripley.

The Ripley police chief says Joshua Logue, 29, is their number one suspect.

Logue is linked to break-ins at more than three dozen Taco Bell locations across Ohio and West Virginia.

In Lexington, Logue is charged in connection with incidents that happened Aug. 6.

He was arrested in Columbus, Ohio.

Logue is a former Taco Bell employee and is familiar with the fast food chain's operations. Lexington Police say surveillance video shows Logue in the same clothing and car during several of the burglaries.

In the incident in Ripley, Logue got away with some cash. It was a similar story in the Lexington break-ins -- he took cash from the register at all five locations.
