Authorities in Limestone County have arrested a man on theft and breaking-and-entering charges.

The Limestone County Sheriff’s Office says that the Athens man was identified thanks to camera and GPS equipment in a stolen vehicle, as well as public response from a photo posted on Facebook.

Deputies with the sheriff’s office responded to Highway 72 on Tuesday on a report of a truck being stolen. A lock to the business yard had reportedly been cut and the gate was left open.

Authorities believe the suspect, 43-year-old Curt Hall, entered four different vehicles and took hand tools, power tools, a bottle of water, and a box of chocolate Twinkies.

The truck was located thanks to onboard GPS equipment, with complete details of every location of the truck.

Hall was charged with theft, breaking-and-entering into a vehicle, and criminal trespassing after he was spotted walking on the side of the road.

The sheriff’s office also says that Hall confessed to the charges and even admitted to eating the entire box of Twinkies.
