GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Dennis Lamonte Kiesig, 40, was arrested early yesterday morning after Gainesville Police Department officers responded to a report that two men were looking through the windows of parked cars at the Ridgemar Commons apartment complex.

An officer made contact with Kiesig, who reportedly attempted to hide behind a dumpster before trying to flee on his bike. The officer apprehended him after he fell off the bike.

Post Miranda, Kiesig reportedly consented to a search of his belongings, which yielded 19 debit/identification cards from 17 different people. Victims contacted by officers reportedly said they had never met Kiesig.

The second man was identified as Dustin Anthony Carnes, 37.
