Corpus Christi, Texas police didn't have to go far to examine the scene of one crime - the theft of guns from a police car.
Authorities said a semiautomatic rifle, handgun, Taser and ammunition were stolen Feb. 8 from the trunk of a car parked at the home of a SWAT team officer.
Then they discovered that fingerprints from the car matched a man who was already in custody.
Police said 27-year-old Jaime Jalomo had appeared in court the day after the car theft and pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance.
Jalomo was indicted Thursday on two counts of theft of a firearm.

A man in Erwin, Tennessee was been arrested after police said he used counterfeit money to purchase fake OxyContin pills from an undercover officer. Unicoi County Sheriff's deputies arrested a 21-year-old man on Tuesday and charged him with criminal conspiracy with schedule II drugs, forgery and criminal simulation.
Investigator Frank Rogers said the officer met with several people at a mobile home park and arranged for the suspect and another man to come to Unicoi to buy 76 OxyContin pills for $4,875.

A southwest Missouri cattleman has been delivering calves at his farm for a long time, but a calf born this week sure was different.
This one had two heads.
Scott Clift said he delivered the chocolate-colored male calf Wednesday morning at his farm near Aldrich, in Polk County.
Clift said the calf had two fully-formed heads that appeared to be connected to its body just behind the skull.
Clift said late Thursday that the calf lived about a day and a half.
It was unable to walk, so Clift and his family bottle-fed the animal until it died at 6 p.m.
Clift said "We've never seen anything like it."

How good of a cook is Clara Cannucciari, a 93-year-old great-grandmother and host of her own online cooking show?
Clara Cannucciari cooks the meals her mother made during the Great Depression.
She's so good, she claims to have gained weight during the Great Depression, according to her blog.
Cannucciari says it was her mother who taught her how to cook the meals she now recreates on her cooking show "Depression Cooking with Clara".
"My father had to have his pasta every day," she said. "And my mother insisted we always have a little meat too."
We're tempted by high-calorie foods, but they should always be an occasional treat, not everyday fare. Eating too many foods high in fat and sodium can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is the leading cause of death for women and men in the United States.
The American Heart Association says a heart-healthy diet is rich in vegetables and fruits, with whole grains, high-fiber foods, lean meats and poultry, fish at least twice a week, and fat-free or 1 percent fat dairy products.
"Most of us want to keep our hearts healthy," registered dietitian Fran Williams said. "But the question remains, how do we do that?"
Williams, an outpatient dietitian at Central Baptist Hospital, said that with all the information out there, it can be difficult to be sure we are doing the right thing for our hearts. She gives us a guide by listing her top 10 heart-healthy super foods, and why they should play a major role in our diets.
--Fish, especially those high in omega-3 fatty acids. Those include salmon, tuna and sardines. "Your heart loves omega-3s. These healthy fats reduce incidents of cardiovascular disease, help lower blood pressure, triglycerides and LDL (bad) cholesterol, and increase HDL (good) cholesterol."
--Beans -- black, white, red, kidney -- are loaded with soluble fiber, which lowers LDL cholesterol. Aim for 5 to 10 grams of soluble fiber a day (you need 25 to 30 grams of total fiber a day).
--Soybeans. "I especially like edamames, young, immature soybeans, steamed in their pods," Williams said.
--Oats are another great source for soluble fiber.
--Skim milk and yogurt are low in fat and high in calcium. "We all know that we need calcium for our bones, but did you know that calcium helps with keeping our hearts beating regularly?" she said.
--Berries -- blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, lingonberries, raspberries -- are loaded with phytonutrients, anti-oxidants and fiber. "And, let's throw in a pomegranate, too," Williams said. "Think color."
--Walnuts are high in omega-3 fatty acids. "They also are high in calories, so stop at a small handful," she said.
--Flaxseed is high in omega-3 fatty acids and soluble fiber. It is best to grind your flaxseed and keep it in the refrigerator or freezer.
--Brussels sprouts are high in soluble fiber.
--Olive oil is high in monounsaturated fat, but it's still fat, so go easy.
