Arrest After Restaurant Break-In

    An Idaho man was hospitalized early Saturday morning after a break-in at a downtown Eustis restaurant. Colby Mushinskie, 20, of Meridian, Idaho, was transferred to AdventHealth Waterman hospital with various cuts and abrasions that didn’t appear to be suffered during the break-in.
    Affidavits indicate Mushinskie was walking in the area of the El Marie Pizzeria restaurant at 200 North Bay Street around 2:30 a.m. when he broke into the front of the restaurant by throwing two chairs through the front door glass. When police arrived, the suspect was walking away from the business with glass shards in his clothing and injuries on his face, which investigators later determined had occurred in an unknown fashion before the break-in.
    While in the restaurant, surveillance video showed the suspect sitting in a booth for a period of time before heading to the counter, and using it to balance him as he walked to open drawers, freezers, and the dessert display.
    Reports state the suspect informed officers he was in town visiting a friend and had been out drinking.
    The suspect was jailed on $6,000 bond.
