TARPON SPRINGS Police arrested a man early Wednesday morning and charged him with throwing a brick through the front door of Fournos Bakery in a smash-and-grab burglary. About 2:35 a.m., an officer noticed that the front door of the bakery at 15 N Pinellas Ave., had been broken, police said. A brick was lying nearby. A tracking dog helped lead officers to the area just north of W Boyer Street. There, they found John Hayes, 53, who was carrying and dragging a garbage bag a few blocks away from the bakery, officials said. The bag was filled with stolen merchandise from Fournos, they said.
