FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. — A Fayetteville man is accused of breaking into a high school and stealing lollipops and a ball, the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office said Friday.

Investigators said Justin Statton Files, 20, of the 500 block of Orlando Street, used a rock to break a window at Howard Health and Life Sciences High School on Camden Road. Deputies patrolling the area saw him running from the school.

The stolen property was valued at $3.20.

He was held in the Cumberland County Detention Center under a $5,000 bond and is scheduled for a first court appearance Friday.
