His strenuous homecoming-night activities gave an alleged burglar a new home for a time — in the county jail.

Responding to a "burglary-in-progress" call from Mancos at 11:14 p.m. on Saturday, Montezuma County sheriff’s deputies Mike Marston, Jr., and Todd Kraus found a shirtless man standing in the door of an upstairs room in the Bauer Bank Building, 101 S. Main.

The man was yelling, "They’re out there, they’re going to kill me," according to the sheriff’s report.

The deputies arrested Jesse Travis Kantola, 19, of Mancos.

The deputies’ investigation later revealed that someone had "leaped and climbed his way to the Girl of the West building," which is adjacent to the Bauer Bank Building, from the Columbine Bar rooftop.

From there, according to attorney Charles Cole, the suspect "came in (to Cole’s office in the bank building) through one of the west windows off the roof."

Though the intruder stirred things around in the office, "the things he did in here really didn’t make any sense," Cole said. "He didn’t cause any damage."

Going from Cole’s office into the interior hallway, the intruder apparently caused other minor damage; when Marston arrived, there were screens from second-story windows lying on the sidewalk below.

After exiting the building by breaking the window in the east ground-floor door, the perpetrator got into a fight with people passing by in a vehicle, after which he went back into the bank building, according to the report.

After being advised by Cortez dispatch that a subject had just broken into the residence of Charles Mitchell, owner and resident of the Bauer Bank Building, the officers entered with Marston’s K-9 and found Kantola in Mitchell’s apartment.

The report said Mitchell heard someone knocking on his door, answered, and found Kantola asking to come in.

After Mitchell twice refused entry and closed the door, the intruder allegedly heaved a five-gallon propane bottle through the window of the door and came in anyway.

Mitchell grabbed a shotgun and pointed it at the suspect, according to the report, telling him to get out. But Mitchell was pushed to the floor, the report said, and the ensuing scuffle continued until deputies arrived.

Kantola, who was later found to be intoxicated, according to the report, was taken to the Montezuma County Jail andcharged with first-degree burglary, second-degree burglary, third-degree assault, two counts of criminal mischief and underage consumption.
