Felon Arrested With Stolen Credit Cards After Vehicle Burglary

A North Redding vehicle break-in turned from burglary to robbery when the car’s owner came along, according to police. At 9:30PM Thursday night John Honeycut walked out of his home and approached his car, only to find a man inside of it. 30-year-old William Riley Taylor told Honeycut he wasn’t stealing anything, but just trying to stay warm. Taylor was told to leave but as he was walking away Honeycut saw that his wallet and cell phone were missing. He ran and confronted Taylor, who reportedly acted like he had a gun in his pocket and threatened to shoot Honeycut. When Taylor pulled his hand out he only had a pair of scissors, which then slipped out of his hand and hit the ground. All out of bluffs, he then ran away and Honeycut went looking for a phone to call the police. An officer picked up Taylor the following day and reportedly found him in possession of Honeycut’s credit cards, which he said he had found. Already on felony probation, Taylor was booked into jail.
