Over the past week, Lake Havasu City Police Officers, Street Crimes Unit Officers, and Criminal Investigations Unit Detectives have been investigating a rash of burglaries and bicycle thefts across Lake Havasu City. There have been over a dozen reports of burglaries and thefts. In many instances, the victims provided video surveillance footage that led to the identity of the suspect as 41-year-old Kingman resident, Jack Weaver.
On May 29th, 2024, at approximately 3:40 p.m., Lake Havasu City Police Department Officers received a call for a suspicious subject in the 100 block of Sunflower Drive. As officers arrived in the area, they identified Jack Weaver riding a bicycle. Jack fled when the officers attempted to contact him, leading to a foot pursuit for a quarter of a mile until Jack was apprehended in the 100 block of Swanson Avenue.
Jack was transported to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries prior to being booked into the Lake Havasu City Police Department Jail for 18 felony charges and six misdemeanor charges including burglary (2nd and 3rd degree), unlawful use of means of transportation, disorderly conduct with a weapon, trafficking in stolen property, possession of dangerous drugs, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of burglary tools, trespass, resisting arrest, assault, and criminal damage.
