MCO SHOVEL BURGLAR RE-ARRESTED 06-29-10 21:00 a.v.

A Central Coast burglar was re-arrested Monday after he was inadvertently released from Monterey County Jail last month.  34-year old Morgan Hicks, who was arrested in fall of 2007, was mistakenly released from jail through a clerical error over a reported bail amount. Hicks, also known as the “shovel burglar”, allegedly used a 5-foot shove to break into 20 homes in Santa Cruz, Monterey and San Benito counties between June and September 2007.   Hicks was arrested after failing to appear in court to increase his bail.  Detectives say he is suspected for burglarizing at least one home in Santa Cruz County on Friday, and plan to add charges to his current case.  He is set to appear back in court on July 29th, he faces over 30 years in state prison.
