• ROBBERY -- A Pleasant Grove man was arrested earlier this week on robbery, theft and drug charges relating to three separate incidents.

Nicholas Woodhouse, 24, was arrested on charges of robbery, two counts of theft, possession of heroine, theft by deception and burglary.

According to court documents, on Sept. 30 police responded to a house in Pleasant Grove on a robbery report. The alleged victim told police that he'd caught a man trying to steal his computer from his car, and tried to stop him. The man, identified as Woodhouse, reportedly hit the victim with the backpack he'd taken from the car and ran. A witness saw the suspect get into a car, which led police to Woodhouse, who was being investigated as the suspect in a burglary.

According to court documents, police identified Woodhouse as the suspect in the theft of two cameras from a home in Pleasant Grove after the property was located at a pawn shop in Orem. He was also identified as the suspect in a theft from a gas station. When he returned to the station, an employee called police. When officers arrived, according to court documents, they arrested him then searched him. They reportedly found 13 balloons in his wallet, which later tested positive for heroine.

• CAR BURGLARIES -- Orem police apprehended a man suspected of burglarizing several cars Thursday morning after he crashed his car into a tree and took off on foot. According to Orem Police Lt. Doug Edwards, a witness at the Countrywood Condominium complex at 1300 S. 1200 West reported two men who appeared to be looking into vehicles with flashlights. An officer arriving on the scene spotted the suspect in a car, and the suspect drove quickly around a corner. As the officer rounded a corner, he spotted the still-running car crashed into a tree. Other officers in the area apprehended the suspect as he was trying to climb a fence. Twenty-five-year-old Christopher Joel Johnson, of Eureka, was arrested on charges of burglary of a vehicle, possession of burglary tools, interference with arrest, no insurance, reckless driving, driving on a denied drivers license and leaving the scene of an accident.

• STANDOFF CASE -- An all-day court hearing Friday regarding an Eagle Mountain standoff will stretch into a hearing in November. The defense will be filing a supplementary suppression motion in the case of Matthew Graham.

Deputy county attorney Doug Finch said five officers testified Friday about the events of a late-January standoff in which Graham became agitated following an argument with his wife and that he brandished two handguns at her and her four children. He held them for about an hour, allowing them to leave only after sheriff's deputies knocked on the door, according to testimony of his wife at an earlier preliminary hearing. Graham was arrested after the four-and-a-half-hour standoff with Utah County sheriff's deputies at his Eagle Mountain home.

The next hearing is scheduled for Nov. 17, when Finch says a trial date will hopefully be made clear.
