Attempted burglary suspect arrested at Rose Bowl in Pasadena


PASADENA >> Police jailed a San Fernando man Friday on suspicion of trying to break into cars outside the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, authorities said.
Jason Lamar Buchanan, 27, was booked on suspicion of attempted burglary after officers found him hiding beneath a blanket in a car parked at stadium, 1001 Rose Bowl Drive, according to Pasadena police officials and Los Angeles County booking records.
Officers responded to parking lot F of the Rose Bowl after a jogger called police about 8:40 a.m. to report seeing a man trying to break into cars, Pasadena police Lt. john Mercado said.
Officers found the suspect, later identified as Buchanan, hiding under a blanket inside a car parked in the lot, the lieutenant said.
Buchanan was parked next to a GMC SUV with its handle broken off, Mercado said. But the would-be burglar had not managed to get inside the car.
The suspect, who is already on felony probation under AB 109 guidelines, was being held without bail pending his initial court appearance, according to police and booking records.
