A Glenpool teenager was arrested after his father took him to the Jenks Police Department to answer to allegations that he broke into a snow cone stand with a 13-year-old boy, police said.

Dalton Simpson, 18, was arrested Tuesday on complaints of second-degree burglary, malicious injury to property and contributing to the delinquency of a minor in the break-in at Josh's Sno Shack in downtown Jenks.

A booking report says the owner of the business reported Monday that burglars took about $150 in cash and an iPad, and that the owner posted surveillance photos of the thieves on Facebook asking for assistance in identifying them.

Police said they began receiving "numerous" tips that one of the people in the images was Simpson, and that his father called officers Tuesday and confirmed Simpson was responsible.

An officer said that during an interview, Simpson admitted using a pry bar to break open a cash register after his accomplice pried open the door of the business.

Simpson remained jailed Thursday in lieu of $4,000 bond.
