Allen PD arrests “limping” burglar after anonymous tip
By Andrew Snyder, asnyder@starlocalnews.com
Allen police arrested a suspect in the recent burglaries of four businesses after receiving an anonymous tip that gave them his name and address.
Robert John Pivnick, 52, was arrested at about 4 p.m. Sunday and charged with burglarizing Style America Salon, Bethany Pet Hospital, Terrell's Dry Cleaners and TSW Nails. The burglaries took place last Thursday night.
Terrell's Dry Cleaning is owned by Mayor Steve Terrell.

Pivnick was shown in security footage limping and using a cane but Felty said that was a ruse, adding that the suspect would limp and act elderly when he saw other people.
Pivnick broke into the businesses by twisting off their door locks. Between the four burglaries, he stole approximately $140 in cash along with a plastic trash can, an iPAD, a 47-inch flat-screen TV and an entire cash register. He also caused approximately $308 in property damage.
