Hasbrouck told police that he had lost his job as a restaurant cook and had been unemployed for about two-months. He said he had "been breaking into several restaurants and vehicles due to his financial needs," according to the release.
Hasbrouck arrested for burglary of a structure. He is being held at the St. Lucie County Jail on $70,000 bond.
