A 59-year-old-man with 12 prior felony convictions is under arrest, facing one count of burglary and three counts of attempted burglary, Reno area authorities said Thursday night.
Detectives observed Donald M Buckner as he was casing RVs that were parked by spectators in the area of the Reno Air Races in Stead, law enforcement said. Buckner was arrested as he came out of a trailer that he had illegally entered, the authorities said.
Detectives with the Northern Nevada Repeat Offender Program and the Regional Street Enforcement Team made the arrest Thursday.
Buckner was previously arrested in 1996 for committing several burglaries of RV’s that were parked by football fans who were watching football games at the UNR campus, law enforcement said. Buckner served a 10 year sentence and was released in 2006.
Shortly after his release from prison, he was caught again in California as he was observed breaking into parked vehicles at area ski resorts, the authorities said.
