Police were called to the scene, but Shrimpton had fled by the time they arrived. He was arrested Tuesday and charged with second-degree burglary, a class C felony. Shrimpton was released Wednesday after appearing before a magistrate. His preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Thursday. Dec. 31.
