A Whitefish teenager was arrested Monday morning when officers found him on the grounds of a coffee business.

Charles Comesatnight, 16, is accused of burglarizing Montana Coffee Traders.

A burglar alarm was activated overnight at the business on U.S. 93 south of Whitefish. Whitefish Police Officer Rob Brenneman responded and saw someone milling around inside the business.

Across the street was a parked vehicle with a hood still warm from use.

Flathead County Sheriff's deputies Brad Stahlberg and Geno Cook arrived, along with Blaze Wingert from Whitefish Police Department.

They found evidence that someone had climbed through a window on the roof.

Inside, they reportedly found Comesatnight lying on the floor on the south side of the building. He was wearing a blond wig.

Comesatnight was arrested without problem, although he did say someone else was with him in the building. The officers searched the building with the business manager but turned up no other intruders.
