A 34-year-old South Lake Tahoe man is accused of breaking into South Shore Bikes and stealing one bike.

Officers found Lee Sparks at Barton Memorial Hospital about 1am March 18.

“He had several fresh cuts on his arms and when interviewed admitted to the burglary at South Shore Bikes,” South Lake Tahoe police Lt. David Stevenson said in a press release.

Sparks allegedly gained entry to the Emerald Bay Road store just after 9pm March 17 by forcing his way through a roof vent. He reportedly left through a window at the front of the business.

Officers said they found blood at the scene and other identifying evidence.

Sparks was arrested on charges of burglary and booked in the El Dorado County Jail.
