According to police, he is accused of five burglaries in Fox Chapel Borough and O'Hara Township. Law enforcement said cash, jewelry, sports memorabilia and firearm were some of the items reported stolen in the burglaries.

The first burglaries were reported on Feb. 7, 2021, and the last ones were reported on March 28, 2022.

Police said the 20-year-old attracted their attention last month when his car got stuck in the mud on the same street and same day as one of the burglaries. Police later searched his home and found some of the stolen items.

Clinton was arrested Tuesday and is in the Allegheny County Jail awaiting his arraignment.
