Dale E. Stone, 1231 N. Douglas St., Apt. 9, was arrested about 2:30 a.m. outside Adam's Outdoor Advertising, 911 SW Adams St.
Peoria police were dispatched to the business after an intrusion alarm sounded and found Stone walking away from the area, reports said.
In his possession police found several items he had stolen from the business, including a cell phone charger and fax machine and computer cords.
Stone was booked on a charge of business burglary and taken to the Peoria County Jail.
