Lurker suspect not convicted
After four court appearances, Aaron Foote, the man charged in connection with the Logan Lurker burglaries, has yet to be convicted for the thefts committed in multiple student housing developments during the 2010 spring semester. Foote, 32, will appear in Logan’s First District Court again Oct. 27 at 9 a.m.
Foote’s court appearance on June 15 was continued because parties were negotiating. His July 7 appearance was also motioned to continue. He is currently not booked into jail. He has been charged with three second-degree felonies and a parole violation.
Foote has been arrested on multiple occasions and charged for burglary throughout the state of Utah. He has also been a suspect in many other campus burglaries throughout the state including University of Utah and Southern Utah University. Because many college students leave their doors unlocked, Foote was able to enter homes and apartments.
On occasion he was seen by the residents of the buildings he broke into. When this happened, Foote would apologize for the intrusion and state he was looking for a particular person. Belongings such as undergarments, television sets, gaming consoles and loose cash were reported stolen, but only a fraction of these items have been returned to their owners.
Foote was arrested in Logan Feb. 11, 2010, when a resident on Canyon Drive reported a burglary. Police followed footprints from a Canyon Drive residence to the car in which Foote was found. Police then found items in Foote’s vehicle that were reported missing earlier that day.
