Police don’t know how long Griffin was in the mall, but they don’t believe he was living there.

He had felony warrants and could face future charges from Miami Twp., the spokesperson said. News Center 7′s Kayla McDermott found four of Griffin’s previous mugshots, two of which were for criminal trespassing and breaking and entering.

Police are still investigating the break-in, and will not be releasing any more information until the investigation is over.
