Officers responded to Seaman Street after a resident observed their car being burglarized by a man in dark clothing around 11:50 p.m. Thursday, Madison Police said in a release.
Police located a man -- later identified as Marvin J. Mixson, 37 -- who had been looking into the windows of nearby vehicles and matched the caller's description, authorities said.

Mixson was arrested and transported to police headquarters, where he was charged with third-degree burglary, third-degree theft and obstructing the administration of law.
