Man Captured in Area of Residential Burglaries

A 30-year-old electrician was arrested Thursday after he was spotted trying to get into a residence in a neighborhood that had been victimized by several burglaries. 

Jenner Michael Dove was taken into custody about 4 p.m. on the strength of warrants for his arrest for possession of narcotics. 

Perhaps more relevant to Rancho Santa Margarita residents is that Dove was spotted attempting to enter a home on Buttercup Lane in the Trabuco Mesa neighborhood, the same one that has been the site of several break-ins dating to last year.

According to the blotter of the Orange County Sheriff's Department, a witness spotted Dove attempting to enter the front door of the residence. He then jumped a fence and tried to enter the home's second floor. 

The witness indicated the occupants of the home are a man, woman and child, but the witness had never seen Dove at the location previously. 

Dove never made it into the house before exiting the area in a black Hyundai. 

Dove had been arrested last June for unlawful possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, and the following day for being under the influence of a controlled substance, according to records of the Orange County Superior Court.

He is being held at the Musick Men's Facility on $22,500 bond.
