Warrant Issued for Alleged Lookout

An arrest warrant has been issued for a Watertown man accused of acting as the lookout in the armed burglary of Martin Motors. 18-year-old Mark Humfleet failed to appear for a preliminary hearing on charges of being a party to a crime of Burglary and Theft. A window was broken on January 26 to gain access to the Watertown car dealership. Authorities say Humfleet served as the lookout while another man ransacked the office, stealing around $20 in cash an iPod and a 22-caliber handgun. The handgun was allegedly found in Humfleet’s possession. Shoe prints at the scene matched the shoes he was wearing during questioning and after investigators noted the similarity he reportedly connected the stolen gun to Humfleet, who is also accused of filing down the serial number on the weapon. The other suspect allegedly burglarized the dealership on the same day he was to be sentenced for an unrelated burglary. Humfleet forfeited a $1000 signature bond.
