County State's Attorney's Office approved two felony charges against Starkes: burglary and tampering with a security system.

He also faces multiple misdemeanor charges, including animal cruelty and criminal damage to property related to the funeral home.

Starkes appeared at a detention hearing Thursday afternoon at the Bridgeview Courthouse, where a judge ordered him held in custody.

Oak Lawn police credited the store owners' quick reporting and cooperation for helping officers locate and arrest the suspect.
