Shane Carlson is linked to several burglaries

Shane Carlson, 26 years-old, was arrested this week during a traffic stop near Eugene, Ore. He was driving a U-Haul with expired tags and was carrying with him multiple licenses. He was eventually identified by matching his fingerprints, which also happened to match finger prints left on human teeth found in a bag left on a neighborhood sidewalk in October.

Seattle police have been trying to track down Carlson for a rash of burglaries at dental clinics and dental laboratories in Seattle. Prosecutors allege that Carlson would steal gold fillings and raw gold used to make fillings and turn around and sell it to make money for OxyContin.

So far, Seattle police suspect Carlson in 35 burglaries, many at dental offices. He is being held on $1 million bail and faces a stiff prison sentence because he will be prosecuted under the repeat-burglary initiative, where prosecutors push for the stiffest possible punishment for prolific criminals.
