PRESCOTT VALLEY, AZ - A Prescott Valley man was arrested by police after reportedly admitting to burglarizing a fast food restaurant he used to work at.

Investigators say Tipa is an ex-employee of the restaurant on Glassford Hill Road and admitted to committing the burglary after he was taken into custody and questioned by police.
Tipa was booked into the Yavapai County Jail in Camp Verde for one count of burglary.
