FARMINGTON \u2013 Three men have been arrested and charged on suspicion of breaking and entering Three Rivers Tap Room, causing up to $15,000 in damages.<\/p>\n

A tenant in an apartment above Three Rivers called 911 to report hearing what sounded like a break-in and thought it might be happening at her apartment. When officers arrived at 12:33 a.m. Monday, they saw a window was broken at the Three Rivers Tap Room and could hear people inside, said Farmington Police Department spokeswoman Nicole Brown.<\/p>\n

Officers searched the building and found and arrested three men.<\/p>\n

Tyrique Yazzie was charged with breaking and entering, commercial burglary, criminal damage to property and possession of a controlled substance; Iesah Yazzie was charged with breaking and entering, commercial burglary, criminal damage to property, possession of burglary tools and possession of a controlled substance; and Felix Martinez was charged with breaking and entering, commercial burglary and criminal damage to property, Brown said.<\/p>\n

Owner John Silva said the men ransacked the office, ripped plants out of pots, ripped antique mirrors off the walls and broke pool cues. One of the men cut up a log book and then cut himself and bled on the book, Silva said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Silva said this isn\u2019t the first time he\u2019s dealt with a break-in or vandalism at his Main Street location and feels like more police presence might help deter criminal activity, especially at night.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe element of darkness just invites criminals,\u201d Silva said. \u201cGood people sleep at night, bad people like to be up like little rats.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silva said every business downtown needs to \u201ckeep an eye on each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, I just came through a year of COVID,\u201d Silva said. \u201cI have lost so much money. \u2026 I am holding on by a shoestring to try to get enough capital to open the rest of my establishment (the pizzeria) and then this happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silva said he has insurance but that his deductible is at least a third of the cost of damages.<\/p>\n
