The suspect dropped the pillowcase as he jumped a fence, but his pants ripped and his wallet fell to the ground. A school identification card was among the items authorities had to work with.

Jimmerson was arrested the next day.

As of Tuesday, he was being held at the Dallas County jail on a charge of burglary of a habitation, with a bond of $10,000.
