Pro tip for criminals: If you leave footprints in the snow from the scene of a crime to your house, police will probably find you.
Take these two incidents as confirmation of that fact.
It wasn’t a trail of bread crumbs, but a trail of footprints in the snow that led Ravenna police to arrest Seth R. Porter, 24, of 6230 Ferndale St., Ravenna Township, for a break-in at Smoke City, 940 E. Main St. in Ravenna.
Officers responding to a reported break-in tracked footprints in the snow directly to Porter’s residence, less than a mile away.
Brilliant.
