Convicted Burglar Arrested In Recent ND Theft

FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- A man who served several years in prison for a string of business burglaries in the Fargo area in 2009 is a suspect in a recent burglary.

Forty-five-year-old Jeffrey Goodijohn, of neighboring Moorhead, Minn., is charged in the Feb. 16 burglary of FM Exhaust and Brake -- a business that authorities say he burglarized four years ago. Police say more than $12,000 was taken from a safe at the business last month.

Goodijohn is still on probation for his earlier crimes, which included 16 business burglaries.

The public defender listed in court documents for Goodijohn did not comment Wednesday, saying she had not yet officially been given the case.
